Why Exam fever?
For years now that's we've had teaching in existence, it's something so glaring that we can't actually have all students at the same pace of learning why? With the existence of something like the IQ(intelligence quotient), it has made it so understandable that not everyone can understand something at the level.

But why then do we have students/children afraid of text/examination? Could it be that they are just dumb, or the level of their IQ do afters that? Well, I think I need to correct something here, I think the IQ of a think only affects the speed in which the brain interpret information. And the students have months to prepare for exams. Is it laziness?

As a teacher for over three years, I have seen many students that have a lackadaisical attitude towards education and at the end of the day get examination fever which would have been prevented if they were serious.
Here are some tips to avoid falling in their category:
Never let anything catch you unaware.
Always prepare ahead of your teacher as that would get you on edge over others and make you successful in any test or exam.
Follow the syllabus;
Let the syllabus which is a summary of the topics which would be covered during an academic course be your guide when reading. This would help you cover the range you are supposed to. It should be noted that you can also read things outside the syllabus as no knowledge gotten is wasted, but in order to be able to meet up with what is taught in the class, finish up the syllabus of your class first.Test yourself using past questions
Don't just read. Test yourself using the previous past questions to know if you are indeed ready for the exam. Another advantage of this is the fact that you would be able to use it to time yourself.Avoid reading late on the eve of the exam
