#1. AIM & PURPOSE of the Exam 

(How To Achieve Them)

I feel the Examination process involves the following –

PURPOSE = to EXPRESS your Knowledge

AIM = to IMPRESS the Examiner

GOAL = to achieve 100% SUCCESS when all the above, end in a “E S S ” it means

YES SUCCESS is doubly sure for YOU ! 😀

I can see you all nodding your heads and wondering how you did NOT realize this before?

• I will tell you now, since childhood, our parents & the society are always inclined towards our excellence & achievement. It can be anything studies, sports, arts etc. 
• Remember how we ask a small toddler who has just started going to a playing school to recite “jack N Jill” when guests came over ? Isn’t that an Exam? That child has to perform (express) so that the guests can Judge (get Impressed) and clap (giving 100% marks).Their claps make the Parents HAPPY, the Little child at 2-3 yrs just wants to get away from this examination & Enjoy himself.They worry, we perform. Were you ever worried of saying jack n jill then ?

So what are you worried of your Examination now?

If YOU could get 100% in your 1st exam WHY NOT NOW?

Because NOW it is YOU, who are MORE worried, anxious about your Performance in the exam than even your parents. And that is THE MAIN reason why you may perform poorly in an exam.

We Will See Why Dentists are Afraid of Exams

when they know Exams are a reality

#2. Why Dentists are So Afraid of Exams ?

1. EXAM FEVER—I have personally witnessed my cousin sister’s skin erupting in rashes just before her exams. My nephew getting a bad cold & fever just before his exams.

2. Getting Cold Feet – Yes, many people actually get cold feet & hands just before the exam due to Over anxiety, Tell me how will they perform well then if they do NOT have enough heat generated to write the paper cheerfully.

3. PERSPIRATION– some start perspiring like a Fountain throwing out water.

If you read the Physiology, you may find all these symptoms to be related to Fear & Anxiety.

Fear of something (FAILING) that may never Happen.

Let me tell you friends, There is NO such thing as a FAILURE

It is just a Perception formed by certain elements in our society. People who do NOT fail, may not succeed. Ask The great achievers, they will tell you I am right.

• The Great Cricketer Sachin does NOT hit a century always, find out about his ducks (zeros) & you will be amused.He hits a Century when He is NOT under Tension and flops when he is. Read his interviews to confirm it.
• The successful pioneers like Edward Jenner, Steve Jobs, Edison, Newton & many more : They all have one thing common – They all knew how to channel there fears of failure, Stay calm and plan their course of action.

Coming back to my definition of Examination, YOU have to EXPRESS yourself Well.

Best expressions come when you are RELAXED! ask Brad Pitt or Amitabh Bachchan!

Else you have to go for Re-takes!

Oh so! Examination is like performing in front of a camera.

Prepare yourself well in advance,

know your dialogues well (post 2 –gathering Knowledge)

Get ready for the shoot (post 5- Preparing for exams)

Apply make-up, wear jewellery, good clothes (Keep Happy, smiling, Cheerful)

HAPPY

and give your BEST shot with CONFIDENCE! –to be okayed in one shot, no retakes

But What if Inspite of your best efforts

you do not do well in Exams

How to Tackle that

#3. What if You don’t do well in Exams ?

And so what even if you score a zero ? Life does NOT end there.

You may be good at so many other things that the Gold Medalist student may not be.

Let him/her be studious, you just aim at passing .

Getting a zero does not mean you do not try again, else how would a cricketer gather so many centuries?

Life is not only about Writing Exams in College 🙂

So, we have discussed about the Dental Exams and how to tackle the fear of exams ?

See What you should do on the evening before Exam ?

#4. What to Do on the

Evening Before Exam ?

On the Evening before your exam –

1. Do NOT study Till Very Late in the Night (Make sure you are well prepared before the exam comes)

2. Do NOT discuss study with anyone. (That might lead to fear, depression or unwanted thoughts)

3. Go for a walk, sit at sea shore, go to terrace, sit quietly & relax mentally. (Point is to relax yourself)

4. Listen to your favorite music, play a game, any activity that will relax you (post 4)

5. Go to the Exam hall with a Cheerful mind.

                                                                HAPPY MIND = GOOD EXAMS 

Consider your written Exam as another performance, whether you love music, films or sports, NEVER consider it an EXAMINATION- some students will scoff at me now but try it for yourself and you will know the Joy of “Performing in an Exam”- results will be such that ….

U VL CLAP 4 URSELF !!!

CONGRATULATIONS Friend – YOU Have SUCCESSFULLY Passed The EXAM of Life!!! 😀
