Stressed for success
Some finds that anxiety interferes with their
learning
to
an extent that their grades are seriously affected.

racing thoughts that are difficult to control. Research
suggests that little worry is good for students because it keeps them alert and task-oriented. Excessive worry, on the other hand, can be very harmful and unbearable for students as it leads to mental blocks and other problems.
