Research on Procrastination During Exams, Mental Health Care, ADHD and its Preventions

Abstract

When students put off preparing for an exam despite knowing they have a deadline and should do so, this is known as procrastination by examination. Students who are anxious about failing the test may put things off. They may put off doing it if they are having trouble understanding the topic. Students who have bad study habits may put off tasks. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) have all been related to procrastination. A neurological condition known as ADHD can impact both adults and children. Hyperactive tendencies, difficulty focusing on activities, and an inability to regulate impulses are all possible symptoms of ADHD². The disease does, however, also have several advantages and strengths. The primary aim of this study in the exam environment is the integration of procrastination findings by examination. The findings can be used to promote improvements in exam scores, writing techniques, academic performance indicators, and the entire exam and learning experience for students. We also expect that our work will encourage more research using materials connected to tests and other texts to help candidates avail themselves of excellent exam-related activities, which are essential to avoiding and are required to receive higher scores on their exams. The investigators chose the ICSE board schools in the sub-urban areas of Mumbai.
