👀 The "first look" rule: Read the whole questions and all answer choices before picking one. Sometimes the best answer is at the bottom!
✅ Tackle the easy ones first: If you get stuck on a question, skip it and come back later! You'll build some confidence and save time.
Staying Calm and Focused
🖐️ Five finger breathing: Slowly trace your fingers, one at a time, while you take deep breaths. Breathe in on the up; exhale on the down.
5️⃣4️⃣3️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ Grounding strategy: Silently look around the space you're in and name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste (like toothpaste from the morning!).
😌 Shoulder shrug: Pull your shoulders up to your ears, hold for three, and let them drop. Repeat!
