How are you coping with results day stress?

Seriously, it is three weeks today that most of can be certain that we are off to uni. But until that day, how are you coping with the pressure?
I have to take sleeping pills because I think too much at night about how I will open the envelope and what will be written in it and what I will do if I don't get the grades.
I am just interested how you guys cope with it all. Or don't you cope at all?

Personally I don't really get the jitters until the morning of results day, but i guess to cope with the stress you should perhaps start a new hobby or something to try and get your mind off the big day :smile:

I keep "trying" to forget about results day. But I'm so worried.

20 more days guys!
Give it another week and I'm going to be freaking out so much :/
Planning a few nights out to try forget !

He does control the heart of his creations. The examiner may mark generously. :rolleyes:

Not really bothered about it tbh. I've got a pretty solid idea on what grades I'm going to get on results day, so yeah not bothered.

I believe that too! Woop! By God's grace, I get in! I just try to keep myself busy besides worrying about results day. It will soon become a distant memory.

AS student here, I was coping okay up until I saw the thread with the Edexcel mark schemes.

They're the exam board for ALL of my subjects...

Keep busy! After an exam's finished I try not to think about it, at the moment I'm volunteering in Nepal and the work and conditions are so tough results day is the last thing on my
mind!

I'm like that! I woke up at half three to calculate how low my grades could still be, to be equivalent with the UCAS points I need. I wish I could just sleep through for 19 days, 18 hours and 26 minutes :afraid:
