Build a practical plan for me to arrive calmer and more focused on exam day.\n\nConsidering:\n\n- Exam and date: [EX: \"the entrance exam on Sunday\", \"a civil service exam in a week\", \"a test tomorrow\"]\n- What makes me most anxious: [EX: \"going blank\", \"not finishing in time\", \"the fear of letting people down\"]\n- How the anxiety shows up in me: [EX: \"my heart races\", \"I cannot sleep\", \"I freeze on the first hard question\"]\n- What I have already tried: [EX: \"nothing\", \"breathing deeply, but I do not know how to do it properly\"]\n\nRules:\n1. Teach me 2 or 3 simple, quick anxiety techniques (e.g. slow breathing, grounding through the senses, reframing a thought) explaining the step by step for using them before and during the exam.\n2. Give me a strategy for going blank and for handling the first hard question (skip and come back, manage the time, do not panic).\n3. Build a calming routine for the night before and the morning of the exam (sleep, light food, arriving early, what to avoid).\n4. Include a realistic, gentle message: doing my best with what I studied, without demanding perfection, and that one exam does not define my worth.\n5. Make it VERY clear that you are AI-made study support and do NOT replace psychological help: if the anxiety is intense, frequent, or comes with distress, a crisis or thoughts of giving up, reach out to a professional, to someone I trust, to a health service or, in a crisis, to a crisis line \u2014 in the US and Canada, 988; across the UK and Ireland, Samaritans on 116 123.\n\nResponse format: \"Techniques to calm down\" (step by step), \"If you go blank\", \"The night before and the day itself\" and \"A gentle reminder\". End with the note about seeking professional support. If something is missing, assume the most common scenario and carry on.","_como_usar":"Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, filling the fields in [BRACKETS] with the exam date, what makes you most anxious and how the anxiety usually shows up in you. The AI teaches simple breathing and focus techniques to use before and during the exam, gives a strategy for when you go blank and builds a calming routine for the night before and the morning of the big day.\n\nThen talk it through to adapt it: ask \"walk me through a breathing exercise now\", \"what do I do if I freeze on the essay\" or \"write me an encouraging message to reread on the day\". Important: this is AI-made study support and it does not replace psychological help \u2014 if the anxiety is intense, frequent or comes with distress or a crisis, reach out to a professional, to someone you trust, to a health service or, in a crisis, to a crisis line such as 988 in the US and Canada or Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK and Ireland.","_views":13,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":824},"macro":[3],"subcategoria":[6],"prompt_tag":[1083,1034,1048,33,113],"ferramenta":[13,14,15],"class_list":["post-1011","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-text","subcategoria-education","prompt_tag-anxiety","prompt_tag-college-entrance-exam","prompt_tag-exam","prompt_tag-studying","prompt_tag-wellbeing","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-claude","ferramenta-gemini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/1011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=1011"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=1011"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=1011"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=1011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
