subject: Does the name of exam terrify you? [print this page] Before we start the journey of this article, it is important to realize that examinations are not end of the world. While we may fail in competitive exams, we can easily sail apast in examinations of life. So, there is nothing to worry about exam results though it is always better to score well in all exams, including competitive ones. If you think that exam phobia does not allow you to give your best, you need to analyze why you feel so. If this is because of expectations of your parents or teachers, make them understand that you are a human being and cannot be expected to perform like a workhorse at all times. Rather than struggling and still saying nothing while selecting your subjects, take some time out to find details about all the available options and talk to some one who knows about it before selecting one. In the meanwhile, start meditation and exercises for about thirty minutes a day. Furthermore, stay away from people who have a negative influence and annoy you with their habit of nagging. Learn to stay happy and make others happy but not at the cost of your happiness; be genuine in your demands. Do not be hesitant to seek notes or ask questions from your friends and teachers, respectively. Make a habit of speaking less but speaking those words that are really needed and necessary. Study throughout the year and on the day of examination, focus on what you have learnt during the year rather than caring about how you will be going to fare. Do not get engaged in study conversations just before the commencement of exam as that may make you feel nervous. Observe these small things and your exam phobia will die a sudden death very soon.
