Pressure of exams on kids: Exams are a major source of stress for students. The pressure to perform well can lead to anxiety, fear, and even physical symptoms like headaches or stomach aches. Students may worry about failing, disappointing their parents, or not getting into their desired college or program. Some students may cope with this pressure in unhealthy ways, such as by procrastinating, skipping class, or using drugs or alcohol.
However, there are healthy ways to manage exam pressure, such as by studying effectively, getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising. It’s also important to remember that exams are just one measure of a student’s abilities and potential and that there are many other important things in life besides grades.
