Exam blues are common at your age...
Let's consider this..., if suppose you have completed all your syllabus and you are prepared very well all areas under syllabus...

You would be confident and never bother about any negative emotions...
Fear of exams creep in when you are not sure of what you have studied.... And not sure of how much you recall....
Is not it?
So, whatever happened has happened...
Here after study regularly with interval breaks and revise again n again diving syllabus into small portions...
Each small portion when you finish you will feel confident...!

Before entering into an exam room have a practice of saying positive affirmations to self that will help you to be calm.
Secondly, while writing an exam you can concentrate only on the questions that you know well and at the last look for other questions if you have time this will help you to get less panic while you are in exam
I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them.
Today, the mind is fixated on your performance in the exam. Tomorrow it could be obsessed about another person/event/topic. Understanding the nature of the mind and how thoughts are generated will help you deal with them.
The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to.
Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist.
The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating.
Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky.
The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process.
Having thoughts about one being worthless and hopeless about life in general is also something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is again part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation.
As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required.
Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" )
Ask yourself :
Where would I like to see myself ten years from now?
What should I do today to reach there ten years from now?
What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail?
What would I do if I weren't afraid?
No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can and will make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow.
A beautiful future awaits you. Take ownership of every time, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy.
Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. You are going to do just fine.
Take care.

Hello Practo user
Your experience in the afore mentioned condition are somewhat insufficient to diagnose anxiety. Feeling some amount of anxiety and stress for an exam is a common experience, and one might feel high nervousness, increased heart beat, and urge to urinate repeatedly, when appearing for an exam which holds high significance. If this experience, however, is happening frequently, irrespective of other factors, I would suggest that you consult a clinical psychologist to further explore the core issue of your problem and help you to work on these issues.
Next Steps
Consult a clinical psychologist
Health Tips
Work with a checklist or to do list for each day and tick off the tasks/syllabus topics completed, so that it gives you a realistic idea and assurance of you completing parts of your syllabus. You could also limit your intake of caffeine and liquids, starting from the night before.
It would be a good idea to inculcate a bit of pranayam in your daily routine to help your nerves relax and decrease the intensity of anxiety that you experience
