Kids often get sick during exam duration and parents feel that they are pretending to be sick. No doubt they do play this sort of trick when they leave their assignments incomplete. But let me tell you its usually not the same during exam phase.
Usually students feel nauseate, irritating and experience a lot of mood swings and all this frequently happen during the exam phase. Many of them even sleep or eat properly and this has a very bad effect on exams.
And this all happens because of the stress they undergo. They stress gets exaggerated when parents pile up expectation on their shoulders, parents usually forget that every child have individual potentials which stands them out in entire world. The stress is even cultivated by the peer group also, kids are often compared by the parents, teachers or even friends which leads them to struggle very hard. But their times when children fail and this are times when they are not able to digest their failures. Failures should be taken very open heartedly.
Besides regular studies, good sleep kids need a very good diet during exams period. We usually let them have any junk food as they crave for all lethargic food. But as parent we need to make them understand that a food with all nutrients will make their brain strong and definitely will be helpful in their studies.
