Experiencing some stress and/or anxiety during exam time (and then again when it’s time to collect the results), is something almost all students have to go through. Under the right circumstances, stress can even help us unleash our full potential. There are levels and types of stress, however, that are just frustrating, exhausting and unhealthy.
