A little bird told me that plenty of students fainted at the announcement of the exam date. Okay, a bit of an exaggeration, but exam anxiety is nothing new to us. Been there done that. Remember the sound of knocking knees during \u200cboard exams? No. I am not talking about parents\u2019 anxiety. All right let me put it straight. Even those students who seemed to have adopted a happy-go-lucky attitude have their stomachs lurched and hands sweat during the exams. Darr Sabo Lagta Hai! Gala Sabka Sookhta Hai! And to our absolute misfortune, it won\u2019t go away by tossing off 10 liters of Mountain Dew. So, what\u2019s the remedy? My dear fellas, that\u2019s why we are here. Hang in on there. I am offering you a list of insights here to alleviate your exam anxiety so that you remain in contention and confidently move forward to the next phase of the exam. But before we move on with the remedy for exam anxiety let us have a quick peek at the SSC CGL 2023 exam Calander.

Life is hard when you feel like a loser. Even though it\u2019s only in your head and you haven\u2019t yet come face to face with the real challenge. And when you\u2019re headed to your exam, all of a sudden, a huddle of phantoms lunges at you making you gulp for air. If such is the case here is what you can do to kick all those ghosts, get yourself together and calmly go through any exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engage in Positive Self-Talk:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of fear is caused by negative self-talk. Our inner narrative pretty much shapes the way we perceive ourselves and the world at large. Make a resolve to use a positive inner narrative in any situation. For example, replace \u200cthoughts like \u201cI botched it all up. I am a jerk.\u201d, with \u201cMistakes and failures are an essential part of progress. It\u2019s proof that I am trying.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=7127\">Take a FREE Mock Test &amp; Compare Your Score with The Topper<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Breathing Exercises:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do breathing exercises and yoga daily to calm your mind and reduce anxiety. Somatic work not only heals the inner core, but it also puts you into the right frame of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visualize Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take some time out of your busy schedule and daily \u200chumdrum. Find a quiet place in nature and visualize your success. See yourself as an achiever. Do it over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=7127\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/SSC-CGL-Free-Mock-1-1.png\" alt=\"SSC CGL 2023 Banner\" class=\"wp-image-41549\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realize that Everyone is Flawed:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most successful people in the world were flawed and made mistakes. Plenty of them. It\u2019s just that we are only aware of their success and never came to know about their insecurities and the process that got them there. Cut some slack guys. Honour your efforts. Honour how you\u2019ve been trying. You deserve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Mock Tests:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mock tests are specially designed to give the candidates a hands-on experience of the exam. Regular practice greatly improves the candidate\u2019s ability to deal with anxiety and removes any fear or anxiety altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time Management:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn to manage your time. Keep a stopwatch, and practice mock tests. Making routines and study plans is not enough. They also need follow-ups, don\u2019t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=7127\">Take a FREE Mock Test &amp; Compare Your Score with The Topper<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Breaks:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take short breaks during the exam to relax your mind and body. Use the break to take deep breaths, stretch, take a short walk, or drink water. Break the monotony.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen to Soothing Music:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to soothing music can help to calm your mind and reduce anxiety. Choose music that you find relaxing and calming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Anxiety as a Normal Emotion:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anxiety is your body&#8217;s response to certain challenges and exam anxiety is common. When you take it as a normal response of your body, you would easily segue to calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=7127\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/SSC-CGL-Free-Mock-1-1.png\" alt=\"SSC CGL 2023 Banner\" class=\"wp-image-41549\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear &amp; Anxiety during exams is a normal phenomenon.
