It is the exam season all over the country, immediately after the state board exams, the professional course exam period will start. Young Friends! You know that the 10th/12th exams are school and junior college level exams. The impression of the school, junior college environment, teachers’ attitude, homework, uniform, parents’ strictness, mischief, negligence, etc. is clearly visible on their preparation. After these exams, when students go through the stages of preparation for professional course exams directly related to their career, then students often commit shortcomings in their behavior. To avoid them, let us examine the causes and remedies of mental stress that arises during these exams.
The mind of a school level student is not exposed to much corruption or adulteration. Due to school discipline, parental attention, etc., his mind is largely protected from wandering. Even before he enters professional college courses, many types of impurities corrupt and even pollute his mind. The elements that cause mental chaos are: scattered imagination, distrust, directionlessness, despair, searching for easy ways (or rather fraud), youth struggling with unemployment, economic hardship, etc. Obviously, this leads to mental disharmony and lack of progress in life.
Students should get used to accepting the challenge called exams while preparing for school and junior college level exams, otherwise when they go to compete in professional course exams, they become victims of big exams, i.e. big mental stress, a self-inflicted disease. The only thing is that your outlook and attitude towards these exams should be based on foresight.
While preparing for these exams that decide the direction of your life:
(1) Keep your thoughts completely positive. This is not an easy task because sometimes some jealous and sometimes evil-minded students try to mislead serious and committed students. Therefore, do not let people with negative thoughts even come close to you. They have stories ready to mislead and distract you from their goals. With great logical arguments, they are also successful in convincing you that it is difficult to compete with life and time, the only way is to surrender, do not dream big etc. They have such an effective script ready to make you give up on life that even your determined intentions start to tremble.
(2) An ordinary student becomes willing to study and pursue higher education under the force of parents, relatives, teachers, etc. An intelligent student gets motivated by the words of others and motivational lectures, etc. However, an extraordinary student gets motivated himself. Allah Almighty has filled all the elements of self-motivation in the heart and mind of every human being. These extraordinary students do not have to be taught to motivate them, and extraordinary does not mean extremely intelligent, but extremely serious and extremely hardworking. In other words, victory will belong to the one who keeps his mind active even in the most unfavorable conditions and frustrating environment and always keeps his eyes on his destination.
(3) While preparing for higher education exams, you should always remember that the paths of these exams are not easy, of course they are not difficult either, they are just full of challenges and young people! What is a life without challenges and you must have a vision and imagination of a life beyond those challenges. Listen to an old proverb that rings true in every era: “The more you hard work, the more you will be blessed.”
(4) After having a positive mindset for these exams that will prove to be decisive in life, now you should first have complete knowledge about the syllabus of that exam. Have complete knowledge of the books of expert authors. Instead of studying from dozens of books at the same time, you should give priority to the book of one author on each subject. And the other books should be supplementary books. Students who have participated in these exams before can also benefit from them. During your school days, your textbook would have been 200 pages. In these professional courses, this book also consists of 1000 pages. The exam night is only five hours long. Now, can you study 1000 pages in five hours? It is impossible, but the points that you have marked with a pencil on those 1000 pages can be covered in five hours in your eyes. This is the method of revising 1000 pages on exam days and it becomes possible with the proper use of pencil.
(5) Electronic media is still not a substitute for books, although there is a structure and motivation available for various exams. Out of them, barely ten percent are useful, all the rest are portals to earn money. You should be able to identify them. Today, not thousands of books but thousands of libraries are available on the internet, it takes effort to utilize them, of course, all the study material is now in your hands.
(6) The syllabus of professional courses is quite extensive, so boredom is also felt while studying, which is a natural thing. The way to deal with this is to
(7) There are some mistakes which are called ‘exam mistakes’, however, they are directly related to the ups and downs of our thinking and behavior. Intelligent children make fewer big mistakes in the exam hall (and in life), they 7 lose the game of life due to small mistakes. Intelligent children solve difficult (and most difficult) questions and make mistakes in easy questions. The reason? Undue self-confidence, not reading a question properly and still thinking that they have understood that question. Minor mistakes like plural negation…. The cure for this is to
Young people! Every exam is actually a test of your self-confidence, present mind and decision-making power. If you move forward with a positive mindset, you are sure to achieve remarkable success in every exam!
