Exam fever causes students significant stress and anxiety in the days and weeks leading up to an exam. Students experience sleepless nights, upset stomachs, and worry as their mental countdown to the exam intensifies. Their study habits become more sporadic and focused on selective topics as the exam approaches. To manage exam stress, students need to create a study schedule with targets, review topics using different techniques, study in a quiet space and time, learn exam formats, practice mock exams, exercise, and meditate to promote focus and calmness on the exam day. Proper preparation and time management are essential to reduce exam anxiety and perform at one's best ability.
