    This training explores the positive and negative impact that stress can have on the academic lives of students. It uses the Yerkes-Dodson graph to explore the relationship between stress and performance and how too little or too much stress can negatively impact performance whilst a moderate level of stress can enhance it. The training includes activities to help students pinpoint where their current stress levels fall within the Yerkes-Dodson graph and identifies strategies to help them manage stress to optimise performance. It also provides additional reading and video resources related to stress, learning, memory and productivity for both students and staff.

    Many students suffer from exam anxiety both before and during their exams. For some the experience of exam anxiety is a major barrier to achieving the grades that they are capable of. It is exceptionally painful when grades in class tests and homework outshine the grades achieved in exams. This can be especially true for conscientious and high performing students whose commitment to their academic grades, whilst motivating their studies, is sabotaging their grades through intense anxiety within the exam. Understanding the role of anxiety and how to use it to enhance performance can radically transform students’ feelings and performance within their exams. This workbook goes well with exam technique and revision technique workbooks. Contents:

    Marginal gains theory is a powerful approach to achieving goals and self-improvement. Originally developed in elite sports training the idea is to make small, incremental changes in multiple areas that compound over time, to drive transformational results. As outlined in the workbook, this concept of seeking continuous 1% improvements across everything from sleep habits to study techniques can unleash great momentum. By detailing the roots of why marginal gains is so effective this workbook makes a compelling case that we should all be looking for marginal gains in our lives. Through real-world examples and activities that students can use, it provides a framework for applying marginal gains thinking to see gradual yet exponential benefits. Whether trying to optimise health and wellbeing or boost academic and career success, the marginal gains mindset offers practical inspiration. Contents:
    • MARGINAL GAINS
    • MARGINAL IMPROVEMENTS
    • COMPOUND CHANGE

    Getting enough high-quality sleep is essential for students to perform at their best both academically and in their lives. Sleep has been clearly linked to improved memory, concentration, cognitive functioning and overall wellbeing and good health. Students cannot afford to cut back on their sleep as this will impact their cognitive abilities to recall content and perform well in exams. Prioritising consistent, high quality sleep is a “high-performance strategy” for improving grades. This workbook helps students to buy-in to the idea of sleep as a performance enhancer and provides activities and tips to help them evaluate and optimise their sleep habits. Contents:

  • Taking Breaks

    Taking regular breaks while studying is vital for productivity, focus and wellbeing. Yet many students resist taking breaks out of a misplaced fear that breaks will reduce productivity. Taking regular breaks leads to improved concentration, protection against fatigue and higher productivity which can then be sustained over longer periods of time. Key best practices around study breaks include experimenting to find the right work-to-break ratio for each individual, planning ahead and ensuring that breaks are enjoyable and take place away from the study space. Students can also supercharge their breaks by using them to improve information recall. Implementing these research-backed techniques can transform students experience of studying from an arduous process to a sustainable and even enjoyable experience. By taking breaks, life becomes easier and the quality of work becomes better. Contents:
    • TAKING BREAKS
    • HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF BREAKS
    • KEY FACTORS
    • HELPFUL BREAKS

    Balancing work, rest and play is an important skill which helps students to sustain a high level of performance over extended periods of time such as during the exam season. Often students focus predominantly on their academic life and neglect sufficient rest or leisure activities. However, incorporating rest, relaxation, sleep and play activities can enhance learning capacity and create resilience to stress. Students can benefit from assessing how they currently allocate their time between work, rest and play to evaluate if their life feels balanced. Adjusting the proportions of these three components can optimise wellbeing, better equip students to manage exam pressure and ultimately boost academic achievement. This workbook looks at how we can encourage students to buy-in to these ideas, especially where students may be highly driven and do not see their academic success as a function of their overall wellbeing. Contents:
    • THE WORK, REST & PLAY PIE CHART
    • ACTIVITY ADD-ONS
    • FEELINGS AND REALITY
    • BALANCE NOW AND DURING EXAMS
    • THE BENEFITS OF PLAY
    • DEVELOPING SOFT SKILLS
