How to overcome stress when appearing for the NEET examination

Appearing for the Neet test can be stressful for kids, and with so much competition and lakhs of students applying, it can cause a great deal of tension and anxiety.

But don’t worry, we are here for you. Together, we are going to understand how to handle stress while also staying focused on the examination.

What is NEET?

The NEET (National Eligibility and Entrance Test) is an MCQ-based examination for medical students who seek admissions to medical courses across various universities.

The exam is held once a year across the country and is widely regarded as one of the most difficult entrance exams in India.

An exam that is so difficult and competitive causes a lot of stress for students as they navigate their lives in the pursuit of becoming medical practitioners.

So, at Viva Tutorials, we do our best to teach our aspiring students how to manage stress and use it to fuel their aspirations.

Causes of stress

  • A mild amount of stress can act as a powerful motivation for students when they are preparing for the examination, but prolonged stress can also interfere with their daily lives, hampering their day-to-day functions.
  • As lakhs of students appear for the medical entrance exams every year, it creates a lot of competition for the students to prove themselves. This persistent desire of being the best frequently causes negative tension, which can further deteriorate their mental health.
  • For some students, their financial expenses and conditions, family expectations, commitments, and deadlines can all induce stress.
  • When students don’t have proper guidance for their entrance exams, they can feel discouraged, and this can make them anxious while studying as to where to start and how they can cover their syllabus.
