Every year as examinations time approaches,the question of student examination stress 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 only-once to gain entrance to a university and a chosen career.Once this hurdle is jumped-successfully-the same pressure does not apply to examination 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,memoryand study,and learned good techniques and habits.Should not have to worry about stress.
