I'm a bit late on this post but I've always thought that even if I feel like I won't ace my exam, at least I might ace in style. Although I can't really say that since I was just wearing my campus jumper for my first exam... Good ol' old-school.

your 100% right..i have always applied this theory and till now..grades really shift by the way you feel and dress for exams..plus try taking a refreashing shower before and see the huuuuge impact!! btw today i had a stat exam and did the same thing ;)

I agree! Last year during AP exams most everyone came into school wearing sweats, but I opted for a soft jersey dress and flats!

I like your theory! Maybe I will pretend like I'm going out and get dressed even though I have to write a paper (on Kant, no less) :( The last outfit looks like you're going out to celebrate right after the stats exam! Nice. Good luck!

It’s test day. You’re already stressed out enough about the exam you’re about to take, so you shouldn’t have to worry about your outfit either. When it comes to dressing for exams, I have a theory that the more comfortable you are and confident you feel in what you’re wearing, the more comfy and confident you’ll feel while you’re taking your test! You just can’t afford another C+!
By comfortable; I don’t mean just going to class in the sweats you were wearing all night while you were studying. Put a little effort into it. If you look good, you’ll feel good.
A pair of your favorite worn in jeans perhaps, a soft slouchy tee, cardigan sweater, and your lucky bracelet or whatever it may be and you’re good to go. Simple, yet effective.

For me, dressing well before an exam (or for any situation really) is a defense mechanism. It’s just one less thing I have to worry about when I’m trying to go through the daily stresses of being a college student.

Think relaxed and comfy not fussy or distracting.

1. AA v-neck tee, H&M scarf, Ksubi Jeans, Zara boots.
2. AA acid wash tee, Uniqlo blue jeans, random leather bow flats.
3. H&M striped dress, AA cardi, Gap purple tights, Banana republic beige socks, thrifted ankle boots, statistics book-ugh!
