Clearly the exam is not the problem for the students.
It is the fear of others knowing the result and the implication this has for them. If we knew nobody thought badly of us then we would have little fear.
Trading can be good and fun if you have a belief that it is just a trading and the outcome doesn’t really matter.
This doesn’t mean that you won’t try but it means that you have perspective.
However, if you have a belief that you have to win because it reflects on your worth as a person then the trading will become intense and probably unpleasant.
What you hold as a belief will definitely affect the way in which you handle outcomes or respond to them, whatever they are.
It is better to have realistic expectations or in some cases hold no expectations at all.
Never tie your worth to your trading outcome.
