One common response to stress is the "fight or flight" response, which is a natural reaction to perceived threats. In the context of exams, this response can manifest as feelings of panic, racing thoughts, and physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat or sweating. By recognizing these signs and understanding their impact on your performance, you can take proactive steps to address them and improve your exam preparation. Practice positive self-talk: Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations to boost your confidence and self-belief. Remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities, and focus on your past successes to build resilience. Set realistic goals: Break down your exam preparation into manageable tasks and set specific, achievable goals to track your progress.
