Even during exams, sleep for at least 6-8 hours a day. Loss of sleep results in a lot of problems including stress. Sleep helps you relax, forget anxieties and the tense muscles get relaxed. So make it a point to sleep properly and take a rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Time_Table\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 2: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time Table<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a timetable for yourself. Whenever you start preparing for the exams, from that day on to the exam date, jot down what and how much you need to, can and will study. Do not exert yourself. So start on time depending on your speed of study, and ability to grasp and remember. Also, leave some days only for revision. This target setting will not only help you complete the syllabus but also aid you in not getting worked up leading to non-stress. When you know the target and study accordingly, you do not panic as you know that if you follow the timetable, you will have done with the course material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_Take_Breaks\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 3: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take Breaks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not study continuously for hours. This will tire you and contribute to a stressful situation. And meals, sleep and personal activities do not count as breaks while studying. After about two hours of study, take a half an hour break. And try not sitting in one place during that. Talk to family members or friends, go out for a walk or do any other activity that you like, at that time. When you return, your concentration level will have increased and you will also not get stressed. Do this and see the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_4_Your_Diet\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 4: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Diet<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students ignore food and stop having proper food at proper timings due to exam stress. You may not realize, but this has an adverse effect on your physical and emotional health. Even at such times, stick to your regular time for meals. You can take a half-hour break for food. You lose stamina and in turn invite weakens. And never skip meals, though you may be severely nervous and stressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_5_Do_Not_Meet_Stress_Elevators\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 5: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do Not Meet Stress Elevators<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are quite a few people who will make you more worried. Do not meet such people during exams. They may be friends telling you how much or how little they have studied, or some cousin advising you to stay awake all night. Unfortunately in India, even parents contribute to stress. They want top rankers in their family and thrust their ambitions on the poor soul. All these people are least considerate and concerned about you. Just stay away from them and avoid any conversation relating to the exam or studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_6_Accept_Stress\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 6: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accept Stress<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take stress head-on. Do not run away or negate it. Face it. It&#8217;s a challenge. If you are nervous, worked up and stressed, accept it. You do not need to confess to anyone but yourself. Only when you do this will you be able to take measures to nullify its effects. Students who accept it, take steps to come out of it. You have to be honest to yourself to curb this enemy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_7_Meet_Counsellor\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 7: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet Counsellor<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be times when stress can take a severe form. The tips suggested may be of no use. Some symptoms of the critical condition are weight loss, falling ill, severe depression, and loss of appetite.
