STRESS-FREE EXAMS SHOULD BE INVENTED
Universal emotions such as frustration, anxiety and fear, and the physiological changes in our bodies when we feel these emotions are more or less the same in all of us. However, reactions to intense emotions can vary greatly from one another.
For example, it is normal and common for students to get stressed out and to be anxious about a test for which about 2 million students are studying to take. In the face of such emotions like anxiety and stress, the question “why are some students able to regulate themselves and their emotions and calm themselves down better?” gives a clue about the result of the exam to a great extent.
In this context, we will seek answers to the question “How can I cope with the negative feelings before an exam?” and talk about self-soothing strategies in the METU Science Cafe event.
