Exam Stress
Like it or not, at some point in our lives, we have to take exams. At school, college, uni, even learning to drive - there's no escaping them.
For some people it's no big deal, they even get off on it, but for most of us, exams are stressful.
But stress isn't all bad. It's the thing that gives us a rush of adrenaline to make us bother to sit down and study. Without it, we'd all just lie in bed watching the TV rather than ploughing through some dull book. Stress helps to motivate us and raises our game when we're faced with a challenge. But it's a fine line - too much stress does the opposite and causes us to get anxious and tense. It means we start panicking and we can't stay focused.
