How are you this evening?
assistant
Question
not good stressing about next exam
user
null
What class is your exam in?
assistant
Question
economics
user

So just to make sure I understand, you have an exam coming up in economics and you are very stressed about it.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
that is correct.

Do you have any study groups set up for the class? Often times it helps to study with people who are in the same situation you are in.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Study groups don't help me. I find them distracting. I am not able to focus. Adds to the stress
user

Have you made any flash cards for the class?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Yes I have flash cards. That helps with the study but not with the stress
user

I used to stress out a ton over tests too, but I found that distracting myself every once in a while with a movie or a tv show helps me to reduce stress.

that sometimes work for me, but that is like a band aid fix after two hours i am stressing again
user

I would recommend mixing it in while studying, maybe study for an hour and then take a break for an hour and the study again. This way it breaks up the monotony of studying
assistant
Providing Suggestions
interesting. never thought about it that way. it becomes less of a band aid. but it is still a crutch
user

I used to think of it that way as well, but I then began to think of it as a reward for studying and that helped a lot!
assistant
Self-disclosure
oh a reward for studying! that's a good way to think too. not a fix but a prize. I feel better. all of a sudden
