10 Ways Of Reducing Exams Stress

Stress basically seems to be something which causes tension in different demanding circumstances. Exam’s stress is a serious issue , to control and overcome it , we will see few simple ways to make us feel better :

 1. Before hand preparation:

To avoid stress and getting panicked, start preparing before hand. Make sure you don’t leave everything for the last night before exams, that would not do you any good. Realise that you need to make up your mind for the things to read and learn and that would be impossible that you could do that much material at the last moment.

2. Do not compare yourself with others:

The problem begins when you think that they will do better than you because you lack certain abilities.

It is totally fine if you take 30 minutes to read and understand text while others take only 10 minutes. Just give your sincere 30 minutes and you will do great job.
