You can follow the tips mentioned below to reduce stress and fare well in competitive exams:
  • Ensure you get a good night’s sleep of at least 7  hours everyday . Lack of adequate sleep can slower your mind thus  significantly slow hampering your speed and accuracy  and lead to  increase in stress levels . Do not try studying new topics the night before the exam as this will only leave you confused . Try revising your notes but don't be harsh on yourself . Pick only those things for revision  which are utmost important.
  • Taking daily breaks is essential.

Study breaks will ease your mind and allow you to return to your studies with greater vigor. During these breaks engage in activities you love.
  • Exercise boosts your memory and thinking skills both directly and indirectly.
