I used to be one of the top students in my class, especially in the mathematics track, but suddenly my academic performance dropped. What’s frustrating is that every time I face an exam paper, I often feel like I actually know how to answer, yet something happens and I can’t respond properly. There was even a test that was very easy—one I had solved before—yet during the exam, I couldn’t answer it at all. I don’t fully understand what is happening to me, and that’s what makes it more difficult. I’m currently seeing a psychologist, and I’ve discovered that I may be dealing with multiple past traumas, which might be affecting my performance. I’m looking for honest advice. Has anyone gone through a similar phase—where they suddenly dropped after being a high achiever—and then managed to return to their previous level? If so, I would really like to know what helped you overcome it.
