Can’t remember feeling

Can’t remember feeling

I have been studying continuously for a month and I finished the syllabus and I’m planning to do the exam soon but now it’s like I don’t remember anything and my head is tight and I feel like everything is blank? Is it normal?

Hi! Of course it's normal to feel nervous and stressed about exams and some people's reaction to those feelings is just to go blank and feel like they've forgotten everything. It may seem counter-intuitive but the best thing to do is probably to take a break, go and do something non-study related, and then come back to it later.
