10 PRACTICALLY FRUITFUL WAYS TO OVERCOME LAST MOMENT FEAR ON THE DAY OF EXAM

Are you someone who is very confident enough in giving your best in exams but gets surrounded by fear on the day of exam?


Are you someone who remembers everything whatever you studied but becomes blank on seeing the question paper? 



Are you someone who knows every question's answer but feels sleepy while writing the answers in an exam? 


Are you someone who is active in other activities but fails to perform better in your exam? 






Then you are the right person reading this article. 


Exam season has arrived and so we should be well informed and prepared. 


Friends, with many Competitive Exams on the way, we as a learner face numerous difficulties when it comes to exam preparation and appearing for exams. The major thing that surrounds us is the fear and stress that demotivates us from achieving our goal and giving our best in our exam. 

It's not only us but also our family who experience the same. Our parents equally go through the same level of fear as us. 

The only reason for such a kind of behavior is ill-preparation, lack of enough confidence, unhealthy time management, poor studying skills. 




TIPS FOR EXAM PREPARATION:


Remember to follow the below mentioned tips from the day you enrol yourself for a particular exam in order to gain mastery over the subjects and clear your doubts much before hand


  1. SCHEDULE TIMETABLE:

Prepare a detailed timetable for every subject to be covered. Ensure to give equal weightage of time to all the subjects specifying the desired start and end date. 


  1. DAILY CHECKLIST:

At the end of the day, keep a track of all the topics that you have covered in a day. Also with respect to that plan out your next day accordingly. 


  1. COVER EASY TOPIC FIRST:

Covering easy topics at first boosts our morale and confidence. It enables us to feel at ease that you have completed a particular percentage of estimated syllabus. 


  1. GIVE ENOUGH TIME FOR DIFFICULT TOPICS:

After you finish easy topics ensure to be more motivated to finish all the difficult topics too on time. Invest maximum time in understanding the difficult topics with perfection. 


  1. PRACTICE DIAGRAMS:

Most students have a tendency to give maximum attention towards the theoretical part and concentrate much on reading but give least attention for practising diagrams or flowcharts if any which is important in better understanding. Ensure to give equal importance to diagrammatic explanation too by practising diagrams again and again till you reach almost perfection. 


  1. SOLVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS:

Solving questions from single reference books or textbooks is not sufficient. Try attempting questions from different reference books. Especially for math subjects, solve and practice as many questions as you can till you reach perfection. 


  1. SELF ASSESSMENT:

Be faithful to yourself when you assess your own test. Be strict and not lenient. Try to find out as many mistakes as you can in order to understand a topic much better. Self assessment is the best way to improve your skills. 


  1. DOUBTS CLEARANCE:

After faithful self assessment, make a list of all the mistakes that you have committed and get your doubts clarified by your teachers or professors. 




HERE IS THE LIST OF 10 PRACTICALLY FRUITFUL WAYS TO OVERCOME LAST MOMENT FEAR ON THE DAY OF EXAM:


Ensure to follow these tips 15 days before your exam day to experience the best on the day of exam. 



  1. DO YOGASANA & MEDITATION:


Yoga and Meditation is an excellent way to relax your mind, body and soul. Keep yourself as cool as possible. Stay away from all kinds of disturbances. Make it a routine every morning and start your day with a relaxed mind and positive spirit. 



  1. TAKE MINIMUM 7 TO 8 HOURS OF SLEEP:


Most of the students follow a wrong practice of doing night outs weeks before the exams begin. This practice not only affects our health but disturbs the balance of our life too. Ensure to take good stress free sleep of 7 to 8 hours at night. It will help you to stay in good health and strength on the day of exam. 



  1. DE - STRESS YOURSELF:


Step out for a picnic or trekking or visit a garden or any other activity which you love the most. This will help you to forget the exam stress and live happily in the present and enjoy your life. Hang out with your family or friends as per your preferences. 




  1. AVOID UNHEALTHY OUTSIDE FOODS:


Be smart in opting the right choice of foods. As far as possible try to avoid outside food or junk foods or fast foods as they are unhealthy and can take the toll of your health in the last crucial days before your exams begin. Go for home made foods strictly. Includes different types of nuts and dry fruits for better immunity and as memory booster. 



  1. AVOID LEARNING NEW CONCEPTS:


Due to overpressure and vast syllabus we tend to procrastinate on certain topics for the last days before the exam. Covering such topics at the last moment will lead to increased confusion and lack of proper understanding, thereby creating more stress for you. 



  1. REVISE LEARNT CONCEPTS:


Instead of learning new concepts, invest a minimum of 4 hours of your daily routine on doing the revision of all the learnt concepts and practicing them well. This will ensure that you remember all the important pointers of a particular topic in a simple and easy understanding way. 



  1. AVOID BEING IN TOUCH WITH FAST/ SMART LEARNERS & LOVED ONES:


In the last days before your exam is about to being try to avoid being in touch with friends who will torture you with different questions and queries like Hey friend, did you learn this topic? Did you learn these concepts from these reference books? And so on. Such kinds of questions will only create more fear in you if you are not aware of certain topics. Also distractions will move in by being in emotional touch with your loved ones. So be careful.



  1. DON'T PANIC ON SEEING YOUR FRIENDS: 


On the day of exam, when you meet any particular friend holding a different reference book or revising something which you have not come across, just don't panic. Be chill and say to yourself that 'I know everything whatever I have studied'. 


  1. WATCH OUT INTERESTING VIDEOS OR MOVIES:


To kill the stress and fear on the day of exam, watch out your favourite videos or movies to soothe your mind and refresh you completely. It is a scientifically proven method because when you are happy at your heart, the good hormones balances your stress and relieves the fear. 



  1. AVOID READING ON THE WAY:


The worst part that we as a student do is reading on the way to the exam center. Try to avoid reading at such moments which will lead to many distractions and forgetting the learnt concepts thereby creating more fear if you are unable to finish reading completely. 




Hope that was enough motivation and enlightenment for you as a learner to beat those Exam stress and stand tall confidently. 


So, remember, 

Don't Stress. Do Your Best. Forget the Rest. 

If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. 


BEST OF LUCK!!! 


HAVE A STRESS FREE AND DELIGHTFUL EXAM!!!
