Get Anxious Students Through Tests with the Overcome Exam Nerves Hypnosis Script

Exam nerves affect millions of students every year, causing unneeded stress that exacts a physical and emotional toll. Worse still, it can hamper test performance.

The Overcome Exam Nerves Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help students manage their pre-test stress in order to feel better and perform to their highest abilities.

The script opens with a brief pre-talk that explains the causes of exam nerves. The client is reminded that stress can sometimes help create positive outcomes by producing adrenaline, which can increase focus and motivate action. The client is also guided to view their stress as the byproduct of their desire to do well—an admirable part of their character.

But if stress can create positive results, it can also lead to negative ends. The client is assured that their goal isn't to eliminate stress, but to manage it effectively so that it aids their goals. The purpose of the session is explained as a way to find a balance of relaxation and stress, which will benefit them to do their best work possible on exams.

The induction begins with a focus on the body as embedded commands direct the client to relax and "settle down inside."

Flowing language invites the client to let go of their conscious thoughts and allow their unconscious mind to "digest the meaning" of the words in the same way that other organs handle food digestion without the mind's focused attention. The client is assured of the power of the unconscious mind, which is responsible for consolidating, organizing, and integrating knowledge. Embedded commands direct them to relax and place their trust in that power.

The focus turns to the concept of flow. The client is guided to picture a time when they were performing a task at their highest ability and it felt simple and easy. An embedded command anchors this conception of flow in the client's mind. Flow is described as a state of total focus with "just the right amount of calm and poised attentiveness." The client is led to re-experience the sensations that accompany a flow state.
