Students are the most common victims of stress and some of the major reasons for this stress is pressure of examination. This stress is an examination that is common but it can get worse if it gets prolonged. This can give rise to anxiety, nervousness, unconfident, less sleep, depression and many other mental problems. Medical examination, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is approaching in May and students are already seen tensed and worried about their performance in exams.
Medical study is never-ending and it’s been found in reports that there are high levels of perceived stress in medical students. This examination stress occurs due to lack of preparation, procrastination regrets, and family expectations. In India, students think exams are the narrow bottleneck that leads to professional opportunities and have seen many cases where students who couldn’t deal with this mental pressure often give up on life itself. To fight with this mental pressure often needed is guidance of any professional who can mentor the students about how to release the stress.
The piece of advice I would give is to go slow to go fast, I think this applies to everything in life. In examinations also every student should start their schedule with,
1. Cover easier topics and then the complex one.
2. Avoid procrastination-there should not be a delay of any kind
3. Prepare a proper schedule of studies
4. One should not forget about the breaks in between.
5. There should be healthy eating.
6. Do some exercise included in the daily routine.
7. Don’t get stressed out about examination results.
8. Don’t give up when you get irritated, should act patiently.
9. Keep updated about the exams dates and schedule.
10. Don’t miss out on any of the important information.
