Exam phobia may create different problems in other areas. students who suffer from it may have stomach cramps and diarrhea. The dread causes a strong nausea an nightmares as well. The energy of the students drains away and they feel exhausted to revise. Anxiety is also presented in such case. Students may lose their confidence as a result of this phobia.
         Mainly , the reasons behind such a bad situation are : lack of self-confidence as a result of negative and limited thinking and unrecognized timetable of revision and mess.
         To overcome this dilemma , students should have enough trust in themeselves and should eradicate all the negative thoughts from their heads. They should also organize their timetable and prepare for their exams a long period of time before starting. They have to practise sport and other physical activities. Otherwise, it is necessary to visit a psychologist if the case gets worse. Finally, having a strong will is enough to get rid of this phobia.
