Imagine your brain is like a superhero trying to solve problems. During an exam, it gets overwhelmed by too many questions at once and starts feeling worried, that's exam stress! It’s like when you’re playing with too many toys at the same time and can’t pick up just one. Exam stress makes your brain feel tired and confused, so it’s harder to think clearly.
Examples
