Examination fever!

Why do we all fear examinations? Is it the expectation or the fear of failure? I never used to think why we felt so. But now that I'm on the other side of the desk, I have started getting more interested in finding out the psychology behind this fever. All the opinions are welcome.

I think that brings this fever is the uncertainty surrounding the questions and fear of failure. No matter how prepared one may be, because you dont know exactly where the examiner will test you from, panic sets in. I think its a usual experience that goes immediately after writing the exam.

I never fear it. Because I know if I have listened the teacher carefully,then I will get a better mark. If I do it carelessly,bad mark is also possible. So whatever you do,you should do your homework carefully and ask the questions in time when you found them!

Examination is like a milestone for every kid. it is like a race where the postion of the runner matters. Remember what all the runner should be feeling just before the race. Exam fever is the similar feeling one gets a few days before teh exam afraid that the worst might happen.
