Board exams in Class 10 and Class 12 are major academic milestones. Feeling nervous or stressed is completely normal—but unmanaged stress can affect performance. This guide is designed specifically to help Class 10 and 12 students stay calm, focused, and confident during exam preparation.

 Exam Stress Management Tips for Class 10 Students

Class 10 board exams are often a student’s first major public examination, which makes them emotionally challenging.

 1. Understand That This Is a Beginning, Not an End

Class 10 results help shape academic choices, but they do *not* decide your entire future. Many successful people did not score “perfect” marks.

👉 Focus on learning concepts, not just marks.

2. Create a Simple, Realistic Study Plan

Avoid overloading your schedule.

* Study 5–6 subjects daily in short sessions
* Keep time for revision and practice papers
* Include breaks for rest and relaxation

A flexible plan reduces pressure and improves consistency.

3. Reduce Fear of New Subjects

Subjects like Mathematics and Science often cause anxiety.

* Practice step-by-step problem solving
* Revise formulas daily
* Ask doubts early—don’t postpone confusion

Confidence grows with practice.

4. Limit Screen Time

Excessive mobile or social media use increases anxiety and distraction.

* Set fixed screen-free study hours
* Use devices only for educational purposes

5. Take Care of Your Routine

* Sleep at least 7–8 hours
* Eat balanced meals
* Stay hydrated

A healthy routine keeps the mind alert and calm.
