My current practice system for exam anxiety and pacing

The most useful starting point is a repeatable reset that returns attention to the task and decisive cue. If that is not clear, slow down before comparing the answer choices.

I would keep the practice narrow: use one slow exhale, identify the task, identify the cue, and commit. That gives you something observable to review after the set.

A common trap is waiting to feel completely calm before making a decision. Naming that pattern before practice can make it easier to catch in the moment.

Try explaining the decision out loud in one sentence. The explanation should connect directly to a repeatable reset that returns attention to the task and decisive cue.

I would bring this to RN review with one example where the framework worked and one where it still felt ambiguous.

The plan sounds sustainable. Recheck it after several sets and look for whether waiting to feel completely calm before making a decision is happening less often.
