Question

speech on 'how will you cope up with stress during exams'

Answer 1

Ah, that old familiar knot in your stomach that tells you exams are looming. While some people like to believe a bit of stress can be good for you around exam time, science suggests otherwise.

When we're stressed, our brains release high levels of cortisol which clouds the way we think and gets in the way of rational thoughts. Therefore, stressing about this stuff is likely to lead to you performing less well on exam day than if you were totally nonplussed - it's a cruel world!

So we're going to keep this article relatively short and sweet: the last thing you need to be doing when exam pressure is upon you is spending your precious time reading about how to not stress about running out of time.

However, it is worth taking ten minutes to think about how you could reduce your stress levels. In the long-run, taking steps to de-stress will increase your productivity, help you absorb more of the information you take in, and stop you from having a breakdown. Wins all round!
