Keeping a positive outlook and believing that things will work out positively, in the end, is crucial to success. Now that the exam is postponed, it is an ideal time to regroup and harness this additional time towards strengthening your exam preparation. 

Most likely, there must be specific topics or areas you left untouched because of lack of time. You can use this time to strengthen your weak areas. This is the time to put your time and focus into evaluating your weak points and making necessary adjustments in your preparation. Make a list of all the topics that could use additional revision and practice, and plan on working on them. 

Don't forget - rest is the secret ingredient for success 

We usually tend to underestimate the power of 'off days' and taking an occasional break from preparation. However, the truth is that these breaks are crucial for our physical as well as mental health. It's also important to take time off to be more productive and to achieve sustainable progress. 

Now take a couple of days off to recharge yourself by doing things you enjoy and come back stronger to push through your preparation.
