EXAMINATION STRESS
Arwachin International School organized a counseling session on Examination Anxiety on 20th January 2025 for students of classes 9 to 12 where the school counselor, Mrs. AafreenSarfaraz guided students with some tips for identifying and dealing with exam related stress and anxiety. Efforts were made to promote a healthier outlook on exams.
Exams are often seen as a major source of stress for students, based on the perception that academic performance heavily influences future opportunities. The pressure to excel, combined with the fear of failure, can leave children feeling overwhelmed, impacting their well-being and performance.
It's essential to shift this narrative and create a positive atmosphere where exams are viewed as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. By fostering healthy competition, supporting emotional well-being, and valuing effort over results, we can motivate students and reduce the stress surrounding exams.
We hope to shift the focus from exam fear to celebration, fostering confidence, well-being, and lifelong learning while promoting mental and emotional health.
