Examination performance and the stress factor

Abstract

A survey of post “A”‐level students revealed that a substantial percentage (69.7) experienced stress‐related problems both in the months preceding the examination and during the examination itself, to the almost certain detriment of their performance. The survey showed that only 20.3 per cent received effective help and training in stress management and in reducing worry. The major findings are detailed below.
