Appearing for entrance exams is synonymous to stress and anxiety; the stress of being able to complete the syllabus in time, the anxiety of getting a rank good enough to get admission in one of the top colleges in India, the anxiety of having to stand tall in the competition throughout the country. This stress and anxiety can have adverse effects on your preparation as well as the result. In this blog, we will give you a few tips on how to reduce the stress and anxiety experienced when appearing for the JEE entrance.
Meditation and Procrastination
Procrastination is one of the worst habits that a student appearing for an entrance exam can have. This can be avoided by meditating for some time every day. Meditation not only helps to keep your mind calm but also increases your concentration level. Even meditating for 15 minutes before you start studying will work wonders for you.
Make a Checklist
Studying in a random and haphazard manner will not help you. Prepare a daily checklist apart from your usual study schedule. When you go as per the checklist, it gives you confidence and the stress of not being able to complete the syllabus in time is also reduced.
Choose a time when your concentration level is at the highest
Every student is unique. They have their own unique habits and study patterns. Some students can perform better if they study early in the morning and some prefer to study during the night hours. Choose a time when you feel you will be able to concentrate the maximum. This ensures quality studies rather than quantity. It will take you less time and will also help in retaining the concepts.
Regular Exercise helps
In order to keep the mind healthy and fit, it is important that the body be fit. Constantly sitting at one place and studying makes your body dull and lethargic. It is essential that you give sufficient exercise to the body as well. Keep aside one hour for a workout or any other physical exercise that you prefer. Soaking in the sunlight will give you the needed Vitamin D and keep your mind fresh.
Give preference to quality over quantity
Always make sure that whatever topics you study should be done thoroughly. Once you have covered a particular topic, you should be confident about each and every question from that topic. Covering a lot of topics but not being thorough with any of them is not going to do anything for your scores or confidence.
Analyze your progress
As you proceed with your studies, analyzing your progress in between intervals is a must for your confidence. A proper analysis of your performance will help you take care of your shortcomings at the right time.
A lot of mental strength is required to crack the entrance exams successfully. The tips given in this blog will help strengthen your mind and overcome the stress and anxiety attached with the exams. This, in turn, will get you better results and admission in the college of your dreams.
