In reply to Alok Vats. Thank you Alok. I feel that too, esp when those guys ask me questions for which I do not know the answers. And then again, I am a firm believer of probability - the probability of them asking a question and the probability of that appearing in the exam, it takes quite a few odds for that to happen and somehow things have worked better that way :)..

In reply to Abhijit Ray. Thank you Abhijit :). I agree, most of us do prepare only when the noose is tightening around our neck. And sometimes I feel that it is really a lot of fun to do things in the last minute as well, the adrenaline rush is really amazing! :).. I guess it is a fair mix of things and in the end, after all, it is just an exam :).. It is not like that our lives depend solely on them :)

In reply to Maniparna Sengupta Majumder. Thank you Maniparna. I have loved the feel of exams and have dreaded them as well and in the end gotten better over them, So it kinda is a very nice feeling sharing my experiences about them and learnings in the process :)

In reply to Kiran Acharya. Thank you Kiran :). Indeed ,the exams were the single most important monster for us to conquer and life used to be centred around them, so much so that we used to discuss about it for days together even after months :D :D >. That's a beautiful suggestion Kiran, you are really lucky that way. Not to get too involved and just to treat it professionally is a great advice :)..

Nice write up Vinay, frankly you summarized everything in it. Let me tell you about myself, I normally feel nervous when I see someone preparing or reading something at last minute. As far as my conditions are concerned, I always remain relaxed before the exam, reason being, no matter how prepared I am, it won’t make my exams better, rather if I kept my calm then I can even resolve a few questions which I did not prepared earlier too :)

As much we understand the virtue of regularity, most of us prepare only at the last minute. May be we can concentrate better when we have no option, whatsoever, than to get ready. Nice article.

Great post, Vinay. Those exam days! We do take exams too seriously.

When in school, my mom never let us study on the day of the exams. She told us, you know everything and it’s okay to miss some things. It’s just an exam. Don’t get too involved. This worked with me through all my exams. It helped ease the tension, and exams aren’t very hard to crack if you aren’t nervous.

Hope you had a great weekend.
