Why Do People Get Stressed During Exams?

Imagine your brain is like a computer. When you're taking an exam, it's like the computer is running too many programs at once, and it starts to get slow or even freezes up. That’s what happens with exam stress, your brain feels overloaded and can't think clearly anymore. You might feel sweaty, shaky, or even forget things you studied hard for. It's a normal reaction to being under pressure.
