Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams，as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying，confusion，feeling stressed while looking at difficult questions，feeling blank，sweating，sleepless，etc. Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have. Therefore，it's extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear，so that they can take their examination confidently，finally earning good grades. Here are a few tips on ways to overcome exam fear.

There are many students who take studies lightly，leaving everything to be studied at the last minute. As a result，when exams are around the corner，they feel scared，as they don't know where to start，and what to study. So the easiest way of overcoming this problem is to start studying much before the exam. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don't make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding，the chances of forgetting are more. Therefore，it is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides，that the exams are coming does not mean that you have to sit with your books for the entire day，and students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind. However，they should avoid watching too much TV and addicting themselves to the Internet，in which way，they are more likely to waste time.

Apart from the tips above，here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example，before the exam，avoid studying anything new or having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied and how much they have studied，both of which will make you more nervous. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions，ignore them for the time being，and attempt those you find easier. Once you have completed them，go back to the difficult ones.
