How Students Should Deal with Stress and Anxiety as Board Exams Begin

How Students Should Deal with Stress and Anxiety as Board Exams Begin

New Delhi: Board exams are a crucial milestone in a student’s academic journey, but they often bring along stress and anxiety. The pressure to perform well, manage time effectively, and retain vast amounts of information can feel overwhelming.

However, with the right strategies, students can navigate this challenging phase with confidence. By adopting smart study techniques, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and cultivating a positive mindset, they can reduce stress and improve focus. This article explores practical ways to manage exam anxiety and ensure a balanced approach to preparation.

Effective Time Management and Study Planning

One of the biggest sources of exam stress is poor time management. To stay on top of their studies, students should develop a structured study plan that helps them manage their workload effectively.

Active learning techniques such as summarizing concepts in their own words, teaching topics to others, and practising self-testing can improve retention and understanding. Additionally, creating a distraction-free study environment enhances focus and productivity.

Procrastination is another major hurdle. A simple way to overcome it is by using a weekly or monthly planner to track assignments, exam dates, and revision sessions.

This structured approach ensures that students complete their tasks on time, reducing late-night cramming sessions and unnecessary stress. When students manage their time wisely, they feel more in control, making exam preparation a smoother experience.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices for Better Focus

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle plays a crucial role in managing stress and improving concentration. Here are some essential habits that can help students stay physically and mentally fit during exam season:

  • Eat a balanced diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins provides essential nutrients that enhance brain function and energy levels. Avoid excessive caffeine and junk food, as they can lead to energy crashes and increased anxiety.

  • Exercise regularly: Engaging in physical activities like yoga, jogging, or even a short walk can boost mood, reduce stress, and improve focus. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural stress relievers.

  • Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and overall well-being. Avoid late-night study sessions, as they can disrupt sleep patterns and reduce productivity the next day.

Maintaining a Positive Mindset and Seeking Support

A positive mindset is a powerful tool for managing exam stress. Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts or worrying about failure, students should use positive affirmations to boost their confidence.

Simple phrases like “I am prepared,” “I can do this” and “I am capable of handling challenges” can help shift their mindset from stress to self-assurance.

It’s also important to recognize that no one has to go through this alone. Seeking support from friends, family, teachers, or school counsellors can provide encouragement and guidance during stressful times. Talking about concerns and sharing feelings can lighten the mental load and help students feel more supported.

Additionally, incorporating mindfulness and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and meditation can help manage anxiety and maintain focus. These techniques allow students to stay present, preventing them from getting overwhelmed by the pressure of upcoming exams.

Experts’ Take 

Prioritizing Well-being Alongside Academics

Dr Sushma Kulkarni, Vice-Chancellor of NICMAR University, Pune, highlights the importance of maintaining a holistic approach during exam preparation.

“Board exams are undoubtedly stressful, but students can navigate this period successfully by prioritizing well-being alongside academics. Focus on consistent study habits rather than last-minute cramming, ensure adequate sleep and nutrition, and incorporate regular physical activity and relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness. Crucially, practice reading questions carefully during exams to fully understand what’s being asked, and work on improving writing speed to ensure you can complete the entire paper within the allotted time. Remember, your mental health is just as important as your academic performance. Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers, counsellors, or family for support. A balanced approach, combining focused preparation with self-care and effective exam strategies, will lead to the best outcomes.”

Managing Exam Pressure Effectively

Kamna Chhibber, Head of Mental Health at the Department of Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences, Fortis Healthcare, underscores the psychological aspects of exam stress and offers practical ways to manage pressure.

“The stress and pressure of exams build-up due to expectations regarding performance. This pressure arises from personal experiences, peer interactions, and societal standards.”

She also highlighted the following strategies that can help manage stress effectively:

  • Remember that exams occur multiple times in life, and the results of one examination do not determine your entire future.

  • View exams as opportunities to develop key life skills, including problem-solving, time management, decision-making, and multitasking.

  • Focus on your own preparation instead of comparing yourself to others.

  • Take enough self-tests to familiarize yourself with the exam format and identify areas that need improvement.

  • Reinforce your learning through regular revisions of previously studied material.

  • Balance studies with activities that help you relax.

  • Surround yourself with positive and encouraging people.

  • Be open to feedback from teachers and family regarding your exam preparation strategy.

Building Confidence During Exams

Dr. Parag Kalkar, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Savitribai Phule Pune University, stresses the importance of self-belief and confidence while taking exams.

“Believe in yourself and be confident while writing your exams. You’ve done excellent preparation throughout the year, and you will be able to express that knowledge in your answers. Use some relaxation techniques before you start, and all the best!”

By following expert advice and maintaining a balanced approach, students can overcome stress and anxiety, ensuring optimal performance in their board exams.
