Every year as examinations time approaches,the question of student examination stress is raised in the press,on TV programes,and by students themselves.This problem applies particularly to year 12 students(in Australia,anyway).
In many cases ,this is a once-only opportunity to gain entrance to a university and a chosen career.Once this hurdle is jumped-successfully-the same pressure does not apply to examinations at university.The stress arises mainly because the number of the university place is limited.And students are chosen on the level of their marks.So the examination becomes a competition.Worry about how they will be able to pay for their studies, or repay the goverment afterwards, also adds to the stress.

Students who have to developed a proper attitude to learning,memory and study,and learned good techniques and habits.
Should not have to worry about stress.Stress is essential for effictive study and memory.But,it is excess stress--anxiety,worry,fear of failure,ect--which creates a level of stress high enough to cause loss of memory and memory blocks in examinations.This is what students fear that they will not remember what they have learned .Of cause,if they haven't learned the work in the first place,stress or no stress will make no difference.

Naturally,all of us have moments of self-doubt,but it is when self-doubt becomes momentary that is a problem.
