Cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioural components are all present in the psychological and physiological state of anxiety. These elements come together to produce an unpleasant sensation that is frequently linked to unease, anxiety, or concern.

Have you ever experienced anxiety before an exam? Are you unsure of your ability to complete the exam's questions? Are you adequately ready for the test? You can perform better and go above and beyond your capabilities with a certain level of nervousness and tension. A mental issue brought on by excessive worry can prevent you from remembering what you have studied, which can cause panic and result in poor performance in the exam room.

Here are some techniques to assist you in managing your anxiety:

before a test

  1. Avoid revising at the last minute because it will make you uneasy.

 

  1. Make an effort to develop a revision schedule that allows you enough downtime.

 

  1. Be sure to bring everything you'll need to the exam.

 

  1. Arrive at the exam site sooner.

during a test

  1. To relax more, take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.

 

  1. You may read through the exam questions before the test begins, so schedule your time well and choose how you will approach the problems. If an answer to the question occurs to you, write it down on a piece of paper.

 

  1. Calculate how long you'll need to spend answering the questions.

 

  1. If you are unsure of how to answer a question, go on to the next one right away rather than continuing to think about it. This will save you time and prevent you from running out of time to answer the remaining questions. You might make some sloppy mistakes on the remaining questions as a result of feeling panicked by this.

 

  1. Before you begin, write down the formula you believe you might forget.

 

  1. Concentrate on thinking optimistically, such as "I can do this!"

 

You might be able to overcome your exam anxiety with the above-mentioned strategies.
