STRESS levels among students usually tend to skyrocket, from February to April. This is the period when the two major examinations, namely the SSC and the HSC, are held.

The months of June and July too bring with it their own brand of stress, since the results are out, many have passed while some have failed, the hunt for securing admissions start, and life, generally is going to change for the student.

Apart from this, all school students, irrespective of which class they are studying in, face some level of stress, for they have to go through their respective terminal exams.

Unfortunately, there are no easy ways to get rid of this stress, and as long as the system of examinations are present, the stress associated with them too will persist.

But if one were to understand the stress of exams, then it becomes a little easier.
