What causes exam stress and how to deal with their effects to score in Board Exams?

Sometimes the problems and associated solutions are not deeply rooted but may have very easy processes that we tend to overlook. If you are student and dealing with stress related to the examination, follow the steps below to see where you might have gone wrong.

1)      Lack of Strategy

An evident lack of strategy makes the student run in all directions instead of following a proper plan.  Dividing the time based on levels of difficulty is important for students to know

2)      Poor Studying Styles

Students might make plans that are un-achievable and leads to delaying which further leads to piling up of course material. This style of studying often leads to lower grades. 

3)      Lack of Priority Commitment

Difficulties in prioritizing emerge when students are not able to set proper schedules and choose which subjects needs more attention before the others.

4)      Being overly Critical

Students being overly critical can establish a negative self-image of themselves destroying the prospect of scoring higher. It is good to know how much an individual can cover within limited span of time but at the same time it must not prevent students from limiting themselves.

5)      Lack of effective learning due to multiple study material

Students might experience an evident lack of effective learning by getting confused due to availability of a large variety of study material.

 

There are simple rules to combat with stress as well. These begin with maintaining a healthy life style and then moving onto establishing balance between academic and other aspects of life.
