Work smart and not work hard is the mantra that students could follow to incorporate smart study habits in their routine. The students of 10th and 12th are now faced with prelims and as the days are coming closer the anxiety is rising among the parents as well as the students.
Many students have taken to burning the midnight lamp and feel that those extra hours at night allow them to absorb better. In some cases parents are experiencing a high level of stress and many working mothers have decided to take leave and be at home to monitor the students while studying and ensuring that they do not watch television. This may help many students, however, it also could boom range as the students are not used to having the mothers around and suddenly experience as if they are being watched. Parents need to be as a moral support and not as a watch.
However, the above study habits generally come with strong side effects such as mental and physical fatigue, irritation, restlessness etc. This brings in further disturbance in eating habits, sleeping patterns and by the time the board exams arrive, some students suffer from the burn out syndrome.
Success is in our hand and the following study habits tips if followed regularly could bring about excellent results.

advices on the rising exam fear among students as well as parents:
The word exam creates a kind of
anxiety not only for students but more so for parents. Examinations are
almost always stressful. Students rarely know exactly what to expect on
the test and those who suffer from exam fear or anxiety, here are some
simple tips for both students as well as parents to sail through with
ease.
Effective Exam Tips for the Students:

- Discuss with the parents how you feel if you are
nervous or facing certain issue with regards to exam or any other
emotional health.

- Listen to soft instrumental music while studying.
- Listen to the vocal music only in breaks.
- Maintain a time to talk to the friends.
- Use different colour shades while doing revision. Colours help to remember to better and they soothe the mind.
- Sleep and appropriate rest is very important to
put into application all that you have learned and practiced over the
past months before the exam.
- Burning the midnight lamps is not advised during exam as a fresh mind will not experience going blank.
- During the examination if you go blank close
your eyes and concentrate on your breath for 30 seconds after which you
repeat in your mind for another 30 seconds that you are completely
confident of yourself. Then open your eyes and look at the questions.
You shall be able to do well for sure.
