Hechuan and Yang also state that to avoid the stress associated with impending
exams, students should prepare for the exams adequately by ensuring that they set
aside study time every day, and this early preparation will ensure students are
relaxed and confident as exams approach (465).
Students should also plan by setting aside adequate time for doing and concluding
homework every day. This ensures that the workload for each particular day is
effectively dealt with and no work is carried forward to another day.
The importance of ensuring that assignments for each particular day are completed
is that it helps the students keep up with the class work and this reduces the
pressure of having to read substantial amounts of information (a source of stress)
during exam periods due to failure to do set assignments.
Conclusion
As shown in the foregoing discussion, time management – planning activities to fit
into a specific schedule is the best way of reducing stress levels amongst
students. Through time management, students will be more likely to cope with
stresses associated with the increased academic and co-curricular demands of high
school and college.
Students who are keen on maintaining a certain high level of academic performance
will strive to manage their time effectively to ensure that they engage in any
institutional activity they desire without compromising their performance
standards. Stress sets in only when the involved party fails to manage the
available time effectively.
