Examination Fever, is it real.

Examination shock or fever is the sudden feeling of uneasiness that most candidates go through before, during and after an examination. Some of these include headache, fever,  diarrhoea, vomiting,  uneasiness, menstruation, blackout,  uneasiness, fidgeting, frustration, etc.

Examination Fever or Shock is real.  It can cause serious health issues to the candidate. It can even cause the candidate to forget what he or she had already learnt. 

Examination fright or fever is on the ascendancy these days. This I believe is as a result of our overeliance on examination as the yardstick for success. Most people believe Examination Fever is only for candidates who have not learn prior to the examination. That's a lie. Even the brilliant or even those with high IQ have been experiencing Examination Fever.

Examination Fever can attack anybody. Yes everybody. The only difference is how one handles it. We all have our own way of handling issues.
