Exam anxiety can be viewed in two different ways:
v Ineffective coping with the inevitable stress of an exam BEFORE the exam; and/or
v A strong emotional reaction of fear that interferes with thinking clearly DURING the exam.
The most commonly reported symptoms are:
L Memory blocks or “blanking out” on things that you have studied;
L Fear of failing before the exam is even written;
L Physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, sweating, etc.;
L Lower reading comprehension; and
L Poor attention and inability to concentrate
These symptoms can also appear as you study for exams.
In order to overcome exam anxiety, you need to work on what you have control over when it comes to exams how you study, what you study, etc.), and not worry about what you can’t control (kinds of questions, number of questions, how other students perform, etc.).
Exam Anxiety Tip 1
Be Prepared Early
The most common cause of exam anxiety is lack of preparation for the exam. Set up a study schedule at least three weeks before your first exam. You may find that you actually need to start studying very early due to other commitments. Planning ahead also assists you to avoid cramming which can be a major cause of exam anxiety.
Exam Anxiety Tip 2
Sleep Well
Regular sleep is one of the best ways to control stress. Getting up and going to bed each day at the same times ensures that your body and brain are getting the rest they need for optimal functioning. Students who follow a regular sleeping pattern have been shown to perform 30% better than students who stay up late or get up early to study.
Exam Anxiety Tip 3
Same Caffeine & Sugar Intake
Keep caffeine and sugar intake the same during exam time. Don’t increase or decrease the amount of coffee, tea or cola that you normally drink as your body and brain are accustomed to getting a certain amount. Keep things in your life as stable as possible, especially during exam time.
Exam Anxiety Tip 4
Learned Relaxed Breathing
When you display any symptoms of anxiety during studying or during the exam, use relaxed breathing to calm yourself. Take your attention away from the task and take a few slow breaths. Say to yourself, “calm and relaxed” as you exhale. Practice relaxed breathing before the exam.
Exam Anxiety Tip 5
Don’t Study the Night Before
Studying the night before an exam causes your anxiety level to increase. Unfortunately, it doesn’t decrease when you go to sleep. Reduce anxiety by taking the evening off to relax – watch TV, see a movie, read a novel, etc.
Exam Anxiety Tip 6
Review Main Themes
If it causes you anxiety NOT to study the night before an exam, review the main themes of the course earlier in the day. Of course, that implies that you should have already studied well.
Exam Anxiety Tip 7
Have a Plan before the Exam
As part of your studying, think about how you will approach the exam, and what you will do when you run into trouble. Having a plan in place will assist you to worry less about failing, and help you to concentrate more on passing.
Exam Anxiety Tip 8
Aim to Do Your Best
Often, students start thinking negatively when things aren’t going well on an exam. This can lead to lower self-confidence and increased self-doubt. Recognize and turn off your negative internal dialogue. Focus on the task instead of on yourself. Do not try for perfection – aim to do your very best.

A GUD STORY
On the very first day, God created the cow. He said to the cow, "Today I have created you! As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will work all day under the sun! I will give you a life span of 50 years."
The cow objected, "What? This kind of a tough life you want me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I'll give back to you." So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said to the dog, "You are supposed to do is to sit all day by the door of your house. Any people that come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give a life span of 20 years."
The dog objected, "What? All day long to sit by the door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of life!" So God agreed.
On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey, "Monkeys have to entertain people. You've got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks. I'll give you 20 years life span."
The monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey faces and tricks? Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I'll give you back." So God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I'll give you a 20 year life span."
The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat, play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only for 20 years? No way, man!....Why don't we make a deal? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So God agreed.
AND THAT'S WHY.... In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and get to support the family. For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks. And for the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit by the front door and bark at people!

..KIng of all KIngs......smoKING......
THEY SAY.................------->...Smoking is a hazardous habit that not only affects the lungs, but the skin as well. The skin of the human body depends on the clean air continually circulating around its essence. Also, the body depends upon rich oxygenated blood being delivered throughout the body. Smoking impairs this process. That is why smokers give the appearance of having an ashen complexion. The best skin care advice, pertinent to smoking, is to make every effort to quit smoking. Other skin care advice includes eating a healthy diet, exfoliating your skin, and maintaining your skin's cleanliness.
but ......to some whats life without smoking.....moreover, if smoking cuts our life short ...it's gud dey say....y should we live long........to SEE WHAT?.......isn't it gud to have fun AND DIE EARLY RATHER TO be DULL and Live long.......do reply/...
