Exam anxiety: What is it?

Nearly all students who are getting ready for board exams or waiting for the results have experienced some or the other types of stress during the course of their exam. It is undeniably normal for students to feel apprehensive and stressed before exams. Some students express their emotions, but others keep their feelings to themselves or barely ever talk about their anxieties out of fear of being ridiculed. 

Students and their parents need to know that feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. When situations and emotions go out of hand, it’s important to find support and channel bad feelings into something beneficial. Stress and despair not only make everything worse, but they can also make it difficult to perform well on exam day. In fact, a single negative thought might ruin an entire preparation.

Tips to Deal With CBSE Board Result Anxiety

1. Plan a schedule and stick to it: 

Create a schedule that suits your needs. Following someone else’s schedule or downloading one from the internet won’t work for all pupils. Every student works at his or her own speed as they study for exams. The method that has been successful for one person may not be successful for another. Most students get stressed about the fact that they are unable to find a better schedule or are unable to stick to the one that someone else has suggested to them. Decide what fits your schedule the best, and then stick to it no matter what. 

Determine your performance at the conclusion of the week by planning each day and each week. Find out if you have met your daily or weekly goals, and if not, what obstacles may have prevented you. Just be steadfast. Carefully adhere to it. 

2. Stay Focused: 

Recognize that tests won’t determine one’s fate. Recognize the expectations you have placed on yourself. Don’t hold yourself to unattainable standards or allow excessive expectations to distract you from your preparations. 

3. Practice Positive Self-Talk:

During the exams, remain composed and composed; whenever necessary, take deep breaths to ease stress and anxiety. You may increase your self-confidence and help yourself cope with stress by using positive self-talk. Focus on your personal strengths and be in the company of positive people. Never give thought to the past or the future. Focus on the here and now and what needs to be done to pass the test.

4. Healthy Body, Healthy Mind:

You can think more clearly and feel less stressed by drinking water. Throughout the exam, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Lack of sleep can make you tired, irritable, and stressed out. Make it a goal to sleep for 7-8 hours every night. You can feel relaxed by doing yoga, deep breathing techniques, or even just a little walk.

5. Speak Up and Get Assistance

Instead of overthinking or making assumptions about “What if” scenarios and norms of society, talk to the people who are close to you about your anxieties and concerns. Consult your parents and teachers about this. Find someone who can inspire you or who can assist in pulling your positive levers back. Getting your problems out in the open will make you feel more at ease.

Parents’ Responsibility in Addressing Their Children’s Anxiety

• Stop comparing your child to “Sharma ji ka beta” or any other child for that matter. Every child is different and unique in their own way. 
• Stop setting unrealistic expectations for your child. You should not force your child to live the dream that you were unable to. Let them make mistakes so they can learn from them. Tell them you are always there for them, regardless of the outcome. Encourage them to concentrate on the preparations rather than worrying about the outcome. 
• Never engage in pointless conversation. Talking too much about the burden of exams, popular university expectations, and global competition will only make them more apprehensive and stressed. Inform them that the secret to success is preparation, a positive attitude, and perseverance.
