One of my friend in college is too intelligent and ever got 95% marks in every exams but before 2-3 days of exams ,he always goes to exam fobia and got fever even he completes course before me.

Is it phobia or anxiety related to exam? I think it is anxiety and stress related to exams. We all do feel anxious near the exams but others suffer more.

Yes, it is anxiety but after being sure and completion of full course infact after studying he helps us to make some point clear but still he has anxiety.Don't you think something wrong with him.

Examphobia affects to all people. People tend to get nervous often before their exams.They got concious about themselves and get under pressure to score good marks and live up on their parents expectations.I also suffered through tense & nervous moments before exams.But as growing now i am in college have learnt to overcome by maintaining positive thinking about myself.

It is very common with students. Everybody will have it to some extend. But you friend seems to be have more. Following steps can be taken to ease himself.
1. Relax and sort out a timetable for you revision and stick to it. Break up the subject so you are thinking about different things.
2. Don't revise well into the night before the exam. You will just make your self more worried.
3. Take a 10min break about every couple of hours and go for a walk to clear your mind for the next session.
4. Find a place you are comfortable and do your revision you way you think best.
5. You will pass your exam and you will do well. Feel confidant.
6. Once it's finished don't brood on it. It's done and there is nothing you can do Move on and concentrate on the rest.
