College entrance exams can have a profound effect on student well-being as they often create high-stress situations due to the pressure to achieve acceptable scores for admission. The anxiety associated with preparation and the fear of failure can negatively impact mental health, leading to issues such as depression and burnout. Furthermore, selective admission criteria can contribute to feelings of inadequacy among students. However, consciously addressing these pressures through supportive environments and mental health resources can mitigate adverse impacts, promoting a more balanced approach to academic achievement and personal growth.
