You encounter many people during exam time
and it’s easy to let others personalities influence and distract you from
exams/revision. Here are some tips on how to avoid any potential distractions
and deal with those varied personalities...
1. The Worrier
This person may need several showers during
the exam period. The worriers are usually people you will find in puddles of
sweat, be nail biting often and will almost always have an urge to erratically
tap their feet on the floor. Some even have the occasional tear jerking break
downs.
Hiding
Place: Corners, usually located in a
quiet room.
How to
Conquer: Carry some tissues and
Chocolate. Chewing gum will also distract from the tapping.

could end up deciding their future. Usually these are people who are either
incredibly intelligent or just believe too much in destiny to worry.
