How to deal with exam stress?

-


Exam stress can be one of the most difficult things to manage during your academic career. Feeling overwhelmed or anxious when preparing for an upcoming exam is a common thing that most people experience. However, it is important to understand that there are ways to cope with the stress that comes with exams.
 

 


The first step in managing exam stress is to create a study plan. This should include the topics that need to be covered, how much time needs to be spent on each topic, and when the exam will take place. This plan should be realistic and achievable. Breaking down your study goals into smaller steps will make them more manageable and less overwhelming.

The next step is to make sure that you get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can affect your ability to concentrate and focus. It is also important to ensure that you get proper nutrition and stay hydrated. Eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water will help keep you energized and alert.

 

It is also important to take breaks during your study time. Taking breaks can help prevent burnout and give you time to recharge. You can also practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery to help reduce stress and improve concentration.



It is also important to talk to someone if you are feeling overwhelmed. That can be a friend, family member, teacher, or counsellor. Talking to someone can help you feel less alone and give you an outlet to express your feelings.

One more area where we want to focus your attention is - Students from the science stream often feel stressed about their science practical exams due to the dearth or complete absence of quality resources and lab infrastructure. Technology can help such students reduce stress. Tools like SimuLab (Made by ImmersiveVision) help students to perform science lab experiments from anywhere and anytime in a very simplified and gamified manner.

Finally, it is important to remember that everyone gets stressed about exams at some point. It is normal to feel anxious and overwhelmed. However, by staying positive and focusing on the steps given, you can easily manage exam stress. It is also important to remember that even if you don’t do as well as you wanted in the exam, it is not the end of the world. There are always other opportunities to succeed.

  Generation Z , also known as Gen Z or iGeneration, are those born between the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s. As a generation that doesn’t know life without technology, they grew up in an internet-connected world. Especially when it comes to learning, they turn to different sources of information than their predecessors. They take that information and apply it in ways that Gen Xers and Millennials could only have imagined (at least, when they were students). Following are the points that describe how Gen Z is disrupting the traditional learning process: Collaborative Learning To this population, Google, social media and mobile devices are not just convenient tools — they’re necessary parts of life. Generation Z anticipates always having access to information and being online. Gen Z learners value social connections and are comfortable working in groups. They prefer collaborative learning environments that enable them to interact with their peers, share ideas, an...

  Medical field is one of the most highly popular verticals in education. Millions of students aspire to become a doctor, but only a handful get a chance to enroll themselves in medical colleges. On one hand, stiff competition makes life challenging for medical students. On the other hand, shortages of vital facilities hugely impact the quality of their training.   One such facility is ‘Cadaver’. Media circles have widely reported that ‘Shortages of Cadavers’ often affect the overall understanding of human anatomy. And if you ask any medical student or professor, you will find it is true. It is one of the most common challenges in medical education that most of the medical colleges face very often. With growing medical colleges, stricter regulations, and various other factors, getting cadavers has become a very challenging task. But how to solve this challenge is a big question. Let me reveal that now there is a solution to tackle this problem with ease. Immersiv...
