There are many ways in which one can practice meditation, so there is definetly one that will fit your needs. I would not say that I am a religious person; rather, I like to consider myself as more spiritual. Meditation helps in times of serious stress (like exam week!) and can aid you in getting your mind straight and thoughts together. I have done research on meditation, and as it turns out- science supports the idea! It has had emperical effects of stress reduction, improved concentration and focus, mental stability, as well as improved internal and external awareness. Try it out for yourself- wanna know more about it?
What goes hand in hand with meditation?-
