Personally I believe that anybody felt nervous before performing an
examination and I think it is normal to feel so.
25. TEST
PERCEPTION
The fact is that the examinations do not really measure what you know
or learned in the course as there can be many factors that could affect
you at the time you do, for this reason I believe that the most important
is what you demonstrate that you know because a grade does not
measure you as a professional, but with this I do not say it is not
important to prepare and study to have a good result.
In most cases, exam stress is caused by the fear of failing an exam and it
can also be caused by:
 Low motivation levels
 Lack of preparation and planning
 High expectations from others
 Competition from peers
