Mindset: Why is it important?
Mindset plays a crucial role in passing exams because it directly influences how you approach studying, handle stress, and perform under pressure.
Cultivating a growth mindset—believing that effort and learning lead to improvement—helps you stay motivated, manage stress, and tackle challenges head-on, which are all essential for exam success.
Let’s look at this interesting example from football:
If a player steps up to take a penalty that will win the penalty shoot out, and so the match, the success rate rises to 92%
Whereas if I player needs to score or else their team will lose, the likelihood of scoring falls to below 60%
Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman calls this “loss aversion” - the stress or fear of losing something will dramatically influence someone’s thoughts and behaviour.
We are hosting a webinar with Premier League Accountant, Jeff Narweh, on 6th February at 12:30pm. In this special webinar we will focus on learning styles, study skills and developing a growth mindset.
Hope to see you there!
