Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having 0% concentration in my studies. My board exams are going on, I have become too irritable. I am also able to make myself happy again but the stress of studying is bothering me as I cannot concentrate. Also, I am motivating myself but still, I cannot.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Board exams are indeed stressful for every student and especially with this huge coronavirus scare thats going on, it is even worse I am sure. Although, now that your board exams have been suspended for the next 10 days, you may breathe a sigh of relief. I can still give you some tips on handling exam pressure.

1. Study in small clusters of time, like study for 50 minutes then take a 10 minutes break and then restart.

2. Have a proper three square homecooked meals a day with two small snacks in between. No junk food, aerated drinks, tea or coffee.

3. Spend one hour every day in engaging in your hobby even during exam time. This will recharge your mind and you will feel more concentrated and productive in studies.

4. Keep your phone and other gadgets at bay. Switching them off until exams get over is the best thing to do.

5. Catch up on good sleep at night and keep sleep timings fixed.

I hope this helps.
