You might feel tired under pressure, confused, worried that you won't do well etc. Normal levels of stress can help you work efficiently, think faster and more effectively, and improve your performance. However, too much pressure and anxiety can make you feel blue. This may lead to lack of capability to concentrate and may also get you overly worrled about your performance at the examination. Becoming aware of what causes your anxiety will help ta reduce the stress. You should alurays know what exactly is the reason behind the excess of strass that you are suffering with. You might go through 2 feeling that other people are way ahead of you in terms of preparations or there are topics that. stil remained untouched or unclear. You might find yourself unable to stand the pace and the thought of not being able to perform to the best of your ability during the examination can actually scare the daylights out of you, People more often try to overcome this stress in many unhelpful ways. They may try to avoid their studies as itis causing them suross, may also tend to ignore a particular tople that they are not good at and may not revise the topics that they are already done with because they think that they will do badly anyway. The key to reduce exam anxiety isto make an early start on your revision. Once you are done with the topics in advance, you get enough of extra hours to revise everything that you have already done. Regular studies reduce the level of stress, as the number of topies to be done does not accumulate into blizzards, hence provide the aspirant with a better physical and mental health. if you do not revise the topics that you studied months back, you end_up remembering nothing at all that can cause stress significant enough to make it difficult for you to focus on the task at hand. You should also engage yourself in self-care strategies during examination time by keeping an eye on your sleep, nutrition, exercise, and implementing a few relaxation routines. Take @ rap and exercise before exams. It resets your brain, inereases blood flow to the brain end prepares you for critical thinking and retention. Da not exercise for tao long, you don’t have to waste that much of time, 15 minutes will be enough. Try talking to someone. Don't lock yourself up in a room and study all day and night. Becoming 2 book worm is definitely not going to help. Humans are saclal animals that you need to talk to and express your feeling with. Make sure you take aut time to converse with someone, your friends, family, stranger, anyone. You need a suppor: system and someone who will encourage you Remind yourself that feeling anxious Is normal and is one’s natural reaction to any external pressure. The key isto put these nerves to positive use. Try to face the situation with a strong will power rather than avoiding or escaping from them. If you keep your faith, your trust, the right attitude, and if you're grateful, youll see new doors of opportunities and success opening up on their own, b=} ee) COACHING el FROM STAR FACULTIES OF BANKERSADDA‘WWW.CAREERPOWER.IN & WWW.BANKERSADDA.COM News Maker is RBI introduced the new Currency Notes of Rs.50 & Rs.200 RBI announced that it will be circulating new currency notes of the denomination of Rs.50 and Rs.200, Where the Rs.50 notes will be an add on to the existing Rs.50 currency notes, that means citizens are not required to queue up for any sort of exchenge; and Rs.200 notes will a new addition in currency notes denomination. ‘What the features of Rs.50 Note?

From the last few months, I was in a dilemma whether to write my success story or not and finally decided to write it. In fact, itis not a success story, it isa short note that might inspire Students lot, It is a story of ups and down and again standing up against all odds. May be it will inspire some of the aspirants. especially girls who are seeking for the success in spite of all negatives they have to face in the society. | belong to 2 small district of Rajasthan where Conventional thinking still persists thet girls need not be given much of education and also no freedom to choose career opportumities, almost same was the case with me. we are 5 sisters (2 elder & 2 Younger). One can imagine how tough it would have been for my parents to provide us proper upbringing & proper education. Somehow my parents managed to provide both. On the top Of allthese, we all know that having. girl child in the familys considered as a curse in some parts of India and we were 5 sisters. Till now | couldn't find the answer to this that why our relatives and neighbors are more concemed about our internal matters unnecessarily. | was fed up and all my relatives were asking me what | was doing, My father’s colleague called him and informed him that his daughter had been selected in a particular govt. job. | felt very bad thet | couldn't :( 1 stopped meeting everyone.| was tired of answering (Aajkal_kyakarrahiho?) Uncle, Aunties, Relatives...They all are just 2 headache. | have cried a lot because of them. They are the major hindrance b/w us and ‘our success. But "JITNE KA MAZA TO TAB HI HAI JAB LOG AAPKE HARNE KA INTEZAR KAR RAHE HO” They keep telling, ‘my parents that they need not give us much education, they should not let their daughters do this & that etc.My life & ‘education also would have come to @ halt after 12th for some reasons but luckily My parents gave me the chance to earn my life, Central Excise & Customs) Finally, | took admission in B.Sc(Chem), pursued it successfully. But since the last year of my college, | was worried about my career I knew that being a girl I won't be given many opportunities. | had little time in hand. | tried to find some work in Pvt. sector but failed.Then after getting some wise suggestion from my best friend | entered in the field of preparation for govt. jobs. Though | failed in some exams at the start as it was completely a new experience for me, | started focussing on one aim ie. SSC CGLE'15. My parents told me that it would be your 1st and last chance. ‘was under immense pressure but now I can say that the pressure worked ‘positively for me as | had limited time & ‘goal was already decided. All | needed at that time was 8-10 ‘months of completely disciplined and routine daily study plan & Lalso did it too. 29th JUNE 2016 is that lucky day before that | considered my self very unlucky. On this day around 9.30 pm, I got a call ‘and heard a voice “hey, hello Inspector Ma'am" I replied in an awkward manner....Whatll...Then felt relieved to the utmost level. Now, | would try my best to help my younger sisters achieve what they are aspiring for. How life is Strangeful!. | still wonder where would I had been if | were made to quit after 12th. So, | would request all the parents to tive your daughters a chance to prove themeelves too and also to the girls to take this opportunity positively and prove ‘their worth in the family. Advice: It's better to realize what you can do & what you cannot as soon as possible. Forget the world around you for 8-10 months, Set a goal, have a disciplined & routined life & most importantly follow it strictly. Keep learning from your failures. Success is not easy and certainly not for lazy ones. “Count on your failure B’coz Success Is a poor teacher”. Just Remember a Minute's Success Pays the Failure of Years. Failure is Success if we learn from it. “The Pessimist Sees Difficulty In Every Opportunity. The Optimist Sees The Opportunity In Every Difficulty.” “Winston Churchill"| followed daily quizes, practice tests and GA capsules of ssc adda which helped me a lot in maximizing my overall score. Lastly, I want to extend my heartiest gratitude to my parents and siblings for their unwavering faith in me and my closest friend and guide who had more success than | myself.WWW.CAREERPOWER.IN & WWW.BANKERSADDA.COM xercise & Personal Interview SBI PO Is the most sought-after recruitment process by banking aspirants.
