Overcoming examination stress

Some of the symptoms of stress are Stomach disorders

Headaches, Mild Fever ,Loss of Appetite ,Insomnia, Depression ,Sweating, Breathing difficulty, Panic attacks and Memory losses

Being too anxious, concerned or worried is not conducive to exams and undue anxiety is counter productive.

A well planned schedule and a steady routine aided by a calm mind, provide the best backdrop for effective preparation for exams.

In most cases, combined studies end up as chat sessions. However there is no harm in seeking clarifications from friends or teachers when the need arises.

Take a 10 minute break every couple of hours and go for a walk to clear your mind for the next session.

A very important part of examination preparation is your diet. Food high in fibre content, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and lot of milk keep you alert and energised. Chocolates and chips and other high sugar, high fat food tend to make you feel sluggish.

Indulge in hobbies or a certain amount of television or games. When you do something that makes you happy, you will do that thing well.

We need to have the determination to succeed against all odds and a desire to perform well. There is no shortcut to success but hard work.
