Exam Syndrome
An abnormality in behavior that a person shows while studying for the exams, which makes him deviate from the immediate goal of studying for the next subject to something completely useless and total crap.
In some rare cases, the affected person also starts thinking about his future, still ignoring the fact that studying is a little step in building it.
Also, sometimes, some affected individuals like to stare at the wall or just sleep.

Last Exam Syndrome
A worldwide student condition that makes one completely unmotivated and unproductive in the time leading up to and during one's final exam. Procrastination reaches unchartable levels and everything except actual studying is done. During the exam writing tends to be rambling and illegible and 95% of cases leave their exam early, even if what they have written isn't up to usual standard/they've written too little for good marks.

Post-exam Analysis Stress Syndrome (PASS)
One of the most unproductive form of exam stress. PASS usually occurs the day following an important exam and involves the sufferer analysing and stressing about said exam and all the things they think they got wrong or right, what they could have done better and how well they think they did.
It is usually accompanied by insomnia which usually leads to poor performance in exams that may follow, thus perpetuating further post and pre-exam stress.

Rita, when I studied for my first CPA exam, I spent all day and night cramming words and reading in between the lines. But now when I study for my second CPA exam, I just skim through the book, page by page. Girl, I must have second exam syndrome. ~ Melissa Jo Ann
