Here we are going to share few tips on “How to
beat your stress during examination?”. Ask a student about what he fears the
most in his life and the answer in all probability would be examination. It
causes stress and anxiety like no other thing to students. Fear of examination,
also called the examination phobia, if not tamed in time can aggravate o
stress, a far more critical condition. It adversely affects the academic
performance and career prospects of a student. Following are given some key steps
to keep stresses under control and do away with result pressures –
1. Reasons behind the stress: Every problem has a
solution and that is why first it is essential to know what ails you. This is
the first step in the direction of uprooting stress. For some students, lack of
completion of syllabi poses a great problem. While for others a bigger issue is
lack of retention power. Some students are not able to understand the concepts
properly and thus feel the pressure of appearing in an examination. The first
step towards finding a solution is making an honest assessment of your
strengths and weaknesses. Once you know your problems, do your best to solve
them with the guidance of professionals and experts. The faster you overcome
your problems, the sooner you gain confidence.
2. Realise your dreams: Hard work and sincere
efforts are the key to success. Achieving much-expected results in examination
has the same success formula. Going through the syllabus seriously and
thoroughly is prerequisite for good results. This results in confidence and
courage and ultimately helps you deal with pressures of examination.
3. Proper planning a must: Chalking out a plan for
the examination preparation is important to get desired results. But majority
of students don’t give importance to planning. They fail to assess the tasks to
be accomplished until the examinations begin. Delay in planning is also not
good because you are left with relatively less time to finish the tasks. And
consequently, problems start inundating you. So, you need to chalk out a
comprehensive time plan only at the beginning of the session. Religiously
sticking to the planned study hours is also equally important.
4. Seek guidance from parents: Always open up with
your parents about examination stress. If you fear your parents, share your
concerns with a friend or a teacher. Talking about your problems will help you
allay the fears and phobia of examination.
5. Practice meditation: Regular meditation
calms one’s mind. It also helps enhance focus and better concentration, which
ultimately help students grasp the subject faster. So Practice meditation at
least for 10 to 15 minutes as per the schedule.
6. Have practical goals: Dreaming to achieve
bigger things is human nature. However, your Wishlist should be practical,
depending on the resources available and your strength. Honest assessment of
your capabilities is very important. Do not allow yourself to get swayed by the
unrealistic and highly ambitious plans. Know your own strengths and weaknesses.
Set your goal keeping your limitations in mind.
7. Pull up yourself: Students usually panic during
examinations. But that doesn’t help. Rather, it aggravates the situation. At
this crossroads, you need to be very rational. Do not lose patience. Drop all
the thoughts of rejection, and frustration. Try to always stay stoic and firm.
Keep on pushing hard for what you want to do in your life. This would help you
become courageous to brave the challenges of life with ease.
