Tips for Students to Manage Exam Stress
Today with high competition,
students face a very tough situation. With increasing population, the competition
for any field is increasing day by day. At the same time, the expectation from
parents is also on the higher side. This throws a challenge on students to play
a very crucial role.
Competition has become a sort of
inseparable part which makes students paranoid as well as vulnerable to stress.
The examination fever and the necessity for scoring high percentage add to all
these problems. This causes a sort of tension and anxiety in their minds. The
stress is more prevalent during the Board Examinations or other competitive
examinations. Sleepless nights, disturbing thoughts, high pulse rate, trembling
hands or nervousness are some of the common symptoms of exam fear.
Also there are other problems which
many students suffer like lack of self confidence, lack of courage, feeling of
insecurity, personality problems, attitudinal problems, fear, lack of
communication etc. Such cases need to be addressed and many a times outside
help is required like counseling or advising students as well as their parents.
So it becomes very important for
parents as well as students to tackle these types of situations with utmost
care.
It is quite necessary for students
to have faith in themselves.
The students should develop an
attitude like “I will do well in exams and I can pass”.
They should think positively as well
as take things in the right perspective and not have negative thoughts.
Do not put yourselves under
tremendous pressure and do not worry.
Start preparing right from day one
when the academic year begins.
There are many other positive steps
to encounter such situations like putting in hard work, following a particular
time table, doing regular physical exercises along with meditation, getting
help through advices or counseling etc.
