Do you worry about studying more than you actually study?
Do not create pressure on yourself by worrying about studies all the time. A research conducted by Harvard Business School found that a person acquires only 15% of his qualification and skills from school, college or university. The other 85% comes from the School of Life. If Winston Churchill could be the Prime Minister of Britain even after failing repeatedly in school, then your life won't be over if you don't do that well in one exam. A superstudent studies to gain knowledge. Good result is just a by product.
There is no use competing with others. No matter how well you do, there will always be someone somewhere who did better. So compete with yourself instead. If you get 70% mark in the 1st term, try to get more in the 2nd term. That’s a stress-free way to improve.
Instead of creating stress by thinking 'How will I ever finish all this in such a short time?' sit down with a pen and paper and make a study plan. Then start your work. The more things you cover, the less stressed you will be. Remember, procrastination is a big reason for stress.
