Dear lybrate-user, please continue petril beta for this exam on 1st july. Immediately after the exam, please undergo jacobson's progressive relaxation exercise daily for 2 weeks. A clinical psychologist will teach you initially and later you need to practice on your own for about 20 minutes daily. Alternately you can undergo therapy 1-2 times a week for about 30 minutes a day with a clinical psychologist or a trained psychiatrist. That will be a long term solution without tablets. For this exam, keep in mind an alternative carrier, if you don't clear it. There are plenty of self help books in the market. It is better if you do under guidance and supervision.
