Exam pressure: how to deal with it

Everyone will become nervous when exam days are at their doorsteps and it can be a huge problem even for bright students. Every student must manage their tension over the exams in order to perform well

Let's find out what can be the possible triggers and solutions to deal with the so-called "exam pressure"

Trigger 1: Family

Even though the family is important where you are safe and happy, in exam days it becomes a pressure cooker which irritates you with frequent whistles and they are doing this for your better future. We can't blame them for their actions, so let them whistle around

Solution: Don’t pay over attention to them instead keep you self-engaged with your academic books and surprise them with your good marks

Trigger 2: lack of self-confidence

Yes, lack of self-confidence can be a serious problem. Even if you are a student who is well prepared for the coming exam, in the day of exam because of the lack of confidence you may feel completely out of fuel to drive the exam

Solution: you can't buy confidence from any medical stores, you have to build it yourself so look into previous CBSE tests where you performed well and try to take positive energy from that to build your confidence.

Trigger 3: Friends “the brightest"

While friends are the greatest gift in our life, on exam day they become a cause of tension because you will be thinking about them on how well he/she going to perform and you begin questioning yourself how much marks him/her going to score. Did he/she score more than me? Etc...

Solution: Over thinking about your friends may leave you with less time for your preparations, so just try to get them and focus on what you have to do to make yourself proud.

Trigger 4: poor academic performance in the past

It is another one on the list. It is a fact that not every student is best in academic and not everyone one can show better performance in written exams. It's ok that you had a bad luck in past. Thinking about your performance in past exams also lead you to tension

Solution: Try to understand your mistakes and rectifying them to score yourself better.

Continuous reading can leave you in more stress so make sure you take intervals to relax and engage in other fun activities

You can consider yoga to relax your mind and body breathing exercise can also be practiced. And also don't forget to drink water Refreshing mind and body is essential for better focus. Make use of a timetable in order to track your progress and try to make questions to answer them. Keep note the important point and dates while you are reading that can help you to understand better and don't forget to read the CBSE study notes before going to exam. Be confident about yourself and before the exam day gets enough sleep don't be a bookworm always.
