• Fear, dedication, nervousness, confidence and the
  list is endless, your children are experiencing
  one or more of these things if its the exam
  time. Apart from managing their emotions and
  keeping them away from stress, you also have some
  other duties towards your childs exam
  preparations. A childs journey of exams needs
  parents support more than you realize. You
  should give serious thought to what parents
  should do during exams to help their child in the
  most effective way possible. Because it takes
  more than just studying to get good marks and
  learn important lessons of life while doing it.

Know everything about the course

• If your child is weak on any topic or any
  subject, he/she would not tell you about it when
  its exam time. As a result, that particular area
  will get neglected and you might fail to identify
  your childs weak spot until its too late. If
  you know everything that is there in the course,
  you can then guide your children better, and make
  sure nothing gets left out. This is what parents
  should do during exams, and even before/after
  exams to ensure timely completion of course

Devise a study plan for the entire exam season

• Every student has his/her favorite subject. If
  you dont pay attention, they might end up
  studying what they like, and not what they are
  weak at. They will revise things they have
  already mastered several times. This happens
  because they are afraid of studying what isnt as
  clear to them as the other topics are. This could
  negatively impact their performance in exams. It
  could also lead to an even bigger problem in
  future. After 1 or 2 years, they wont be able to
  understand advanced topics because their basics
  werent cleared in the past. It is your duty to
  carefully devise such a study plan that balances
  strong and weak topics, with enough revisions.

Prepare their things to carry in advance

• While almost every parent is already doing that,
  still it is worth mentioning. Last moment things
  dont really play well to your advantage. Pencil
  box, with scales, compass, and other small but
  crucial things should be prepared the night
  before exams and not hours before exams. It has
  happened to me recently. I was supposed to submit
  a passport photo in the exam hall, the same one
  which I uploaded on the website while applying
  for the exam. I was under the impression that I
  had that photo in my wallet, but I didnt and
  came to know about it only hours before the exam.
  We had to search the whole house for that exact
  same photo, I did find it, but it ruined my exam
  mode. Instead of feeling confident, I was feeling
  worried and scared.

Dont let them take any test the day before exams

•  A day before the exams is only meant for
  revision, not tests. Tests are meant to find
  shortcomings and work to eliminate them. Your
  child should not find any shortcomings he cant
  afford to eliminate due to lack of time. Those
  shortcomings will only negatively impact the exam
  performance as the child will enter the hall with
  nervousness

8
Give them at least 7 to 8-hour sleep

• Not just for the night before exams, but for
  every night. Your child should be sleeping for at
  least 7-8 hours. I have also mentioned this in
  5 ways to keep your child stress-free during
  exams. A good nights sleep will lower the stress
  hormone (cortisol) and bring up the feel-good
  hormone (serotonin). Also, the human brain saves
  the information to a more permanent location and
  free up space for new information during sleep.
   With enough sleep, the child will perform at his
  maximum potential, be it studies or exams. This
  is what parents should do during exams, and even
  before/after exams so that the brain works
  efficiently and effectively.
