Managing stress and burnout during exam preparation requires a balanced approach that prioritizes both productivity and well-being. First and foremost, it’s important to create a realistic and structured study plan that includes regular breaks and time for revision. Instead of long, exhausting study sessions, breaking study hours into smaller, focused intervals using techniques like the Pomodoro method can enhance concentration and reduce fatigue. Equally important is maintaining a healthy lifestyle—eating nutritious food, staying hydrated, getting at least 7–8 hours of sleep, and incorporating physical activities like walking, yoga, or stretching to release tension. Practicing mindfulness or meditation even for a few minutes daily can help calm the mind and improve emotional resilience. Talking to peers, mentors, or family members when feeling overwhelmed provides emotional support and a fresh perspective. Lastly, setting achievable daily goals and celebrating small wins helps maintain motivation and reduces the feeling of being overburdened. Remember, consistency matters more than perfection, and taking care of your mental health is crucial for sustained success in any competitive exam.
