Question to use of "rest assured"
Hi everyone,
I have a question to "don't worry" & "rest assured". In my mind, they have similar meaning that telling people not to care so much on an issue. My question is, are they interchangeable and formal enough to use in daily conversation?
For example:
Ann(my friend): I have so worry about the exam tomorrow cause I don't prepare so well.
Me: Don't worry. It won't be difficult.
==> (if interchangeable) Rest assured. It won't be difficult.

I would say that "don't worry" is conversational and that "rest assured" is formal language.
By the way, your example is not quite right:
Ann: I am worried about the exam tomorrow because I didn't prepare well for it. (I failed to prepare)
OR Ann: I have some worries about the exam tomorrow because I don't prepare well for tests (I lack

hktraderMy question is, are they interchangeableIn your example the meaning is about the same, but in some other sentence contexts you cannot directly replace one with the other. For example, you cannot say "Don't worry that we will take every precaution" in place of "Rest assured that we will take every precaution."
