Psychological strategies that aid in overcoming fear and anxiety during UPSC examinations include practicing mindfulness and deep breathing techniques to foster calmness. Visualization, where candidates imagine success on exam day, can greatly boost confidence. Building a support system with friends and family to share concerns and experiences often alleviates stress. Additionally, regular mock tests simulate exam conditions, helping to build familiarity and reduce anxiety. Developing a positive mindset through affirmations and focusing on preparation rather than fear can also enhance resilience.
