*****HOW TO AVOID STRESS DURING EXAMINATIONS******

The first thing to remember is that there is absolutely no substitute to consist


ency and regularity. You have to therefore regularly attend your classes in coll
ege/tuitions/on-line study groups. Incase you miss some session(s) please take h
elp from your friends and update your notes.
Studying all by yourself is not recommended at the foundation building stage. La
ter on in life you can take specialized courses for additional knowledge and pos
sibly do a lot of work yourself.
Be attentive in all your classes right from the beginning of the academic year a
nd try to ask questions if any aspect is not clear, without leaving the issue un
resolved. There is nothing to be gained by leaving the confusion pending as it w
ill snowball.
No student how so ever intelligent or bright he/she may be manages to regularly
do well and score high grades without regular application to studies. As the say
ing goes it is 90 percent perspiration and only 10 percent inspiration
The brighter ones manage to select the right stream suiting their talents, study
regularly, harder than others and above all work smartly, thus enhancing their
input-output ratio.
Every one can therefore do the same by acknowledging this fact and taking approp
riate timely action.
Never be judgmental about your teachers and understand that you have to learn fr
om them as you are in the process of building up your future.
Moreover respect begets respect and if you are regular, attentive and respectful,
you will be able to get the best out of all your teachers, irrespective of their
own style and whims.
You will need to carefully analyze your courses and segregate your strong and we
ak areas. In the former you can study yourself and build up a good score, while
for the latter you may need some additional coaching.
If indeed you require some coaching, go to a good academy or tutor right in the
beginning of the session for enrollment. Do not leave things till the end when n
either the teachers have sufficient time, nor you will have the ability to cover
every aspect of a seemingly difficult course in a hurry.
You should select that stream of studies in which you are comfortable and which
interests you. Just because science in school will enable you for engineering en
trance or commerce for chartered accountancy should not be the dominant criterio
n. If you are honest and logical in analyzing the reasons behind your choice, wh
ich can be your interest and passion for a profession/career or your area of str
ength, you are most likely to reach a good decision.
Now you can consider the recommendations of your parents and counselors and tall
y the same with your own decision. In cases of a match, there is no confusion. I
n all other cases you need to carefully explain your own reasoning to your elder
s and understand theirs. This process is likely to remove lot of confusion and p
rovide clarity for your later life.
While certain professions like medicine and engineering are always at a premium,
but in today s competitive age, degree for an average institution is not enough.
This means that you need to get into a reputed college and as far as possible yo
ur aim should be to try for the best colleges.
There are many other career choices available today and the same rule of good qu
ality education applies to them also. In all cases you need to apply the same pr
inciples discussed so far.
Allocate some fixed time for studies every day and stick to the routine. You can
factor-in your recreation and play timings along with the hanging-out time with
friends so that there is no clash with your study timings.
If you follow this plan systematically you will have more time for everything an
d will neither miss out on your studies or fun and pleasure.

Some of you must be wondering that we have not discussed the stress during examin
ations as yet.
That is because we have been addressing the correct ways to avoid building of the
stresses. There is no special magic to be applied at the last stage and all the
necessary steps have to be taken in advance, much before the examination stage.
By the time your examinations draw near, you should have once completed your syl
labi, marked the difficult areas/unresolved problems and discussed the same with
your teachers. You must do the complete syllabus and never rely on guess papers
.
CONCLUSION
The examination time and the intervals between papers are strictly for revision
and not for attempting new chapters for the first time.
You should follow a reasonable routine of sleep, regular meals and revision so t
hat there is no sense of panic.
Go for examinations well rested and fresh so that you can give your best.
