Always keep laughing! Watching a funny video or doing something you enjoy for a few minutes. Laughing helps relieve stress and feel more refreshed.
Taking care of your mental and physical health during exams is not just about working hard. It is also about working smart and giving yourself the right support to succeed.
Ultimately, maintaining a healthy routine during PUC exam preparation is not just about getting a good grade. It is all about feeling good while doing it.
