During an examination session, the brain undergoes a variety of cognitive and physiological processes driven by stress, focus, and memory retrieval. Here’s an overview of what happens:

1. Stress Response Activation
• The amygdala triggers a stress response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol.
• Adrenaline sharpens attention and focus, while cortisol provides a temporary energy boost.
• Excessive stress can impair memory retrieval, causing a “mental block.”

2. Memory Retrieval
• The hippocampus, responsible for storing and retrieving memories, is highly active.
• If you’ve studied well, the brain retrieves information efficiently. However, if learning was superficial, you may struggle to recall.

3. Problem-Solving and Decision-Making
• The prefrontal cortex handles logic, problem-solving, and decision-making.
• Under stress, this area works harder, but excessive pressure can overwhelm it, leading to mistakes.

4. Focus and Attention
• The reticular activating system (RAS) ensures heightened focus.
• Distractions are minimized as the brain prioritizes relevant sensory inputs.

5. Emotional Regulation
• The limbic system regulates emotional reactions, such as anxiety or frustration.
• A calm emotional state helps the prefrontal cortex perform better.

6. Multitasking Challenge
• The brain avoids multitasking during exams, focusing on sequential problem-solving.
• Shifting attention between unrelated tasks (like unrelated thoughts) wastes time and energy.

7. Physical Responses
• Increased heart rate and faster breathing provide oxygen to the brain.
• Dehydration or poor nutrition can impair cognitive function, so hydration and snacks help.

Post-Exam Processing
• After the exam, the brain processes what happened, often analyzing mistakes or recalling missed information.
• This reflection is essential for learning but can cause post-exam stress.
