Exams, a test of knowledge and skill,
A challenge that can make us feel ill,
With questions that seem to pierce the mind,
And a ticking clock that's hard to unwind.Preparation, the key to success,
But nerves and anxiety can cause distress,
The fear of failure and what it might bring,
Can make the heart race and the palms sting.

But exams can also be a chance,
To showcase what we've learned through hard advance,
A moment to shine and show our best,
And overcome our fears and all the rest.

Each question, an opportunity,
To demonstrate our ability,
To think critically and analyze,
And demonstrate what we've internalized.

It's not just about getting top grades,
Or meeting expectations that won't fade,
It's about learning and growth along the way,
And striving for excellence every day.

So let us approach exams with care,
And take on the challenge with a fair share,
Of confidence, preparation and hope,
And a determination that helps us cope.

For exams are a part of life's journey,
A challenge that's tough but not too blurry,
And with hard work, focus and dedication,
We can succeed and reach our destination
