The interviewers want to hear what part of your physiotherapy schooling was most stressful to determine how you managed your stress so they can understand your coping mechanisms. Describe what you found most stressful and what steps you took to reduce your stress. You could also break down the most stressful part of each year and how you coped, showing the interviewers that you successfully managed your stress as each year progressed.

"The hardest part of my physiotherapy schooling was the first year at uni. Although I knew it would be challenging, the most stressful part was the amount to learn, the time demands of the course, and the conflict with other activities. I had spoken with many physio students before starting my schooling, but even they could not describe how difficult the courses were. I took a step back, reevaluated my time management skills, and started prioritizing my days using a time management app. Once I started using the app, my days became less stressful as I managed my time more efficiently. I also hired a tutor and joined study groups, which helped decrease my stress immensely."
