Historically, examination in this country, as in most parts of the world have remained instruments of the selective process selection into primary, post primary and secondary institutions; selection into employment, for scholarships, for promotion etc. Though this selective process, particularly in the cognitive realms, examination serves social ends.Examinations, however, are defined as those end-of-term or end-of-course assessment procedures. They are “bigger tests”, more formal and anxiety provoking.
Examination anxiety constitutes a nightmare for many students in our educational institutions. After spending a lot of time studying for examinations, many find their performances well out of proportion with their efforts. To overcome or reduce anxiety, it is desirable to plan ahead for such situations. One effective way is by employing a conscious, coordinated strategy in preparation for the particular situation.

This preparation shall be treated under the following sub headings…

*Preparation during the term/semester.
*Preparation a week from the examination.
*Preparation a day before the examination.
