Imagine your brain is like a robot with two buttons: one for thinking and the other for feeling. When you get an exam, it's like someone hits both buttons at once, thinking about all the questions and feeling really worried. That’s exam stress! It makes people feel shaky, forgetful, or even sick before they even start writing answers.
Examples
- A kid panics before a math test because he forgot all the multiplication tables.
- A student feels her heart racing when she sees the words 'Final Exam' on the board.
- A teenager forgets everything during an exam even though she studied for weeks.
