Students become alert when examinations are at their door step. They
utilize their time for preparation. Examinations make them work hard
for scoring good marks. Some schools award citations and certificate
and give scholarships to those students who excel. Such awards
prompt the students to work hard.
Examinations are just the first in a series of tests that initiate young
ones into a competitive world. But the importance attached to them is
unreasonably high. During the examination period and till the result is
declared, not only the students but also their parents and tutors
remain tensed. It is cast as a do-or-die battle.
Students do not have enough spare time for games and are unable to
give wings to their hobbies due to the burden of examinations. Failure
in the examination arouses a felling of low self esteem and negative
self-image in the minds of the students. At times, students break down
under pressure to perform and resort to extreme measures like
running away from their homes or even committing suicide. Today
school psychologists or school counselors give them proper advice to
increase the efficiency of learning in schools and handle to pressure of
examination. A positive mental state can improve one’s chances of
success.
