Exams are every students fear(of course there are exceptions.lol) Some students start studyin well before the exams while others(most of us) start a few days before them.Even though we may be well prepared we find ourselves in a tensed situation,this is because of two main reasons :- the desire to do well and parental pressure,the latter being more common.Most of the parents want their children to top their classes and score insane marks,they dont understand their child's capacity.I know some parents who sit with their children who are in college and make them study! If the child does not have the desire to study then no one can force them into learning and understanding their studies.
So most of the students study due to parental pressure.Exams are too hyped and should not be taken too seriously.
People say that last moment studying is of no use,that is not true.I say so on behalf of personal experience,if we concentrate enough during the few days before exams and work hard then we can easily score well.The problem with me is that i must feel the pressure of exams inorder to start studying and i know that i share this problem with many others.My point is that we should feel the pressue of exams but not take tension because of it,i know there is a very thin line between the two.Also i would like to comment on the usefulness of exams.In India the kind of papers that are set are mostly theoritical and hardly involve application especially in the case school and college home exams.Many students just cram and vomit out on the answer sheets,you ask them the same question a week later..they wont remember the answer.We cannot blame the students for this.Change is required.
