Heart says, ‘No exam.’

By Muskan Mehndiratta

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear. It’s quite obvious to any student to get stressed or anxious when he/she is going to appear for a board exam, be it of CBSE, UP board or any other state board.

In fact the class 10th students, for whom the board exam comes as the first major challenge in life, are more afraid of taking the big exam. But, dear students, there’s nothing so extraordinary about the board exam as it is similar to any other regular exam that you have appeared in earlier.

You will be given a blend of easy and complex questions to answer, the same as in other exams. The only difference is that, this time these questions will not be prepared by your school teachers and the answers will be checked by the external examiners selected by the board.

You feel stressed and anxious about the board exams. Actually, the whole game is played by your brain which tries to exaggerate the things in tough situations. All you need is to control your brain and keep it healthy and calm.

Here are few tips on how you can train your brain to stay fearless and work properly during the exam days:

  1. Eat good and frequent meals.
  2. Sleep well and at fixed times.
  3. Exercise your brain for peace.
  4. Make an orgainsed study schedule.
  5. Reward yourself with positive thoughts.
  6. Take small, frequent study breaks.

Studying for long hours can make your mind and body stressed and fatigued which ultimately infuses fearful thoughts into your brain. Your brain will not be able to grasp any more information and this will add to your exam phobia. So, break out your study schedule to break the monotony and do some mind refreshing and recreational activities like singing, dancing, watching your favourite Tv series, chatting with your friends, playing games, having snacks, etc. this way your mind will get refreshed and recharged, and becomes ready to absorb in more stuff.

So, guys, don’t consider the board exams as a burden or anything to disturb your life in a negative way. Take the challenge bravely and let your result reflect your hard work.
