OVERCOMING EXAM PHOBIA
Why some students suffer from examination
phobia?
What is examination phobia?
Why some students are afraid of examination despite putting of their good efforts?
Why some students refuse to take examination even after a good preparation?
What is examination phobia?
Why some students are afraid of examination despite putting of their good efforts?
Why some students refuse to take examination even after a good preparation?
These are all the questions that are to be answered carefully,
to understand the problem of examination fear.
During the days of examination many parents rush to doctors,
counselors and psychiatrists for treatment for their children from examination
phobia. Is it all essential for the parents to do this kind of exercise? It
does not, if we know something about the logic behind examination.
Remember the story of Michel Angelo, the greatest painter of the
world who has taken the greatest risk of correcting a color mix in one corner
of the church when the queen was about to visit. He was as tired as he had no
energy to lift the brush. But he went on to complete the work at a great risk.
For whose sake? The answer is very simple. For his own satisfaction, was the
reply.
The morale of the story is that anything we do is for our
personal satisfaction. In the same way the present day students should
understand that they can face success and the success is the goal of their
life. They should believe the Biblical quotation “ faith can move mountains”.
Solve old papers: Collect old question papers and practice them to get away from the anxiety.
Focus on the final examination:
A month or two before exam will not suffice for right preparation for the final examination. If you have trouble of concentration or your preparation for the examination here is a mantra. Prepare a time chart. Include all subjects. Shed unwanted things. Identify most important topics.
Discuss with your teacher, your parents about your strengths and weaknesses. Concentrate on your weaknesses by allotting more time in your time chart for the subjects of importance. At the same time strengthen your strong areas. Like Arjuna in Kurukshetra focused on Bhishma and Karna. Believe that success is in your hands.

10. Often test yourself whether you can recall, what you have studied earlier.
This is essential because you may forget what you have learnt a few days ago. Remember an agriculturist, after harvesting keeps the soil fertile again by watering it. In the same way you also recall and take frequent tests to remember subject matter. Constant recall of previous knowledge keeps your brain active with old information.
Visit the Examination place in advance
If you are taking a test in a new surroundings, visit the place and locate it earlier to exam. Check out the location. This relieves you from the anxiety on the day of examination.

Don’t Eat Junk food. Eat right food
Linkage between examination stress and right food is nothing new. There exists a strong relationship between good food and the mental state of a person. for example, anxiety leads to loss of proteins and vitamin A, C and K. It is therefore important that students taking examinations should not neglect their nutritional needs during stressful conditions. Stressful conditions have a negative impact on the behavior and learning capacity of students. Therefore, students are advised not to drink coffee, tea, cool drinks during the days of examination. The students are advised to take a balanced diet with pulses, low fat milk, plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, small quantities of fat and sugar to combat the examination stress. They are also advised to eat foods rich in vitamin A like fish liver oil butter milk, green leafy vegetables, carrot, ripe mango, ripe papaya etc.,

Having faith is the sun upon the seeds and how you feel is the water that waters the soil. If you keep a positive attitude of gratitude you will have the all that is needed to produce a bountiful harvest. However if you have desolate thoughts and feeling no matter how many times you try to plant your seeds, the seeds will just wither up and blow away off of the dry desolate soil. And if you plant cherry seeds no matter how much I wish for golden delicious apples you will always get cherries.
