Exam Anxiety
Exam anxiety is a common experience among students, characterized by feelings of nervousness and fear before or during an examination. This anxiety can lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty concentrating. It often stems from the pressure to perform well and the fear of disappointing oneself or others.
Many factors contribute to exam anxiety, including lack of preparation, high expectations, and previous negative experiences with tests. Strategies to manage this anxiety include effective study techniques, relaxation exercises, and seeking support from teachers or peers. Understanding and addressing these feelings can help improve performance and overall well-being.
