If you regularly become really nervous before or during an important exam, you may have “test fear”. It is mostly called “exam fever”.
It is a very common sensation
among students especially when an important examination is at their doorstep.
It is extremely terrible as it affects them emotionally, publically, expressively.
When I was in the 9th standard,
I avoided my “Maths” paper by playing to be sick. Am I proud of it? No. I wish
I hadn’t done that, I wish I’d collected up the courage to at least take the
exam, regardless of its consequences. Why did I do this? Because my dad is a
Math genius and the thought of unsatisfactory, him made my blood run cold.
Did you know 66% of
students admitted that their parents pressurize them for better academic
performance? The pressure from non-graduate parents was more associated to
parents those were graduates and post graduates.
Although too much pressure is a bad thing, I believe that a little bit of charming
can be a good thing, as it motivates the students to projection down and work
hard. But let’s face it, exams can make our pressure alarms go off, which can
stop students from accomplishment their top. Hence, it’s arrogant to address it
and get it back under control.
In most cases, exam
stress is produced by the fear of weakening an exam and it can also be caused
by:
·
Low
motivation levels
·
Deficiency
of preparation and planning
·
High
expectations from others
·
Competition
from nobles
Ways to help eliminate
exam stress
Before an exam
· If
you can essence well in the morning then do most of your studying before lunch,
not late at night when you can’t essence. If you can study at night then study
at later half of the day, but go to bed at a sensible hour and get enough
sleep.
· Try
answering questions from past exam papers or you can also try explanation
tricky answers to someone else to make sure you have understood it.
· Always
ask for help if there are things you don’t recognize, and especially if you are
feeling, stressed out.
· On
the day of the exam, avoid talking to friends who get worried easily. They will
do nobody for your stress levels.
·
Write
down all you feel like you need to do and try and tick one thing off.
· Watch
a film, a TV show, play cricket or listen to some music that makes you feel decent.
·
Mash
some herbal tea or a hot chocolate.
During
an exam
·
Students
who fear in an exam should take cavernous breaths.
·
If
a question causes them to restriction, then they should move on to an easier
question. Come back to the difficult question later.
After an exam
Always
recall that scoring low marks or failing an exam is not the end of the world.
Each time the going gets tough, I think of this estimate I’d read long ago,
“Ever annoyed. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.’’
