Stage1: Tension Period/Mugging Period
Mood level falls gradually from moderate to low
Gradient of graph becomes steeper as it falls towards

Stage 2: Exam period
Mood level decreases as students face tension and nervousness towards exams. They are prompted to spend longer hours on mugging to achieve optimum results.
Tension period usually comes before mugging period. For students with high levels of procrastination, tension occurs 1-2 months before exams and then followed by mugging in just 1 week before the exams.

Stage2: Exam Period
Mood level falls to its lowest during this period. However, it increases towards the end of the EOYs exams.
Mood level is at its lowest due to high stress level and longer mugging hours in this stage.
Mood level then rises steadily in the 2nd half of the exam as students have already adapted to the exam environment and better coped with stress levels. They also anticipate the marking days , post exam activities and holidays more often as exam comes nearer to an end.
( teoee: i have no idea why there are 2 stage 2s)

Stage3: Fun-debt Period
Period of delay gratification. Mood level rockets up from below moderate to high.
Students celebrate the end of exams and mugging days. They enjoy themselves in this period as much as possible to compensate for the stress, tension and boredom endured in Stages 1 and 2.

Stage4: 2nd tension period
Mood level plunges from high to below moderate.
2nd tension period is alot shorter compared to the 1st tension period in Stage 1.
Students once again faces tension and nervousness, which is due to fear of obtaining undesirable results upon receiving back thier exam scripts.
Mood level rises back again in this satge as students calm themselves over their results and forget about their papers.

Stage5:Lax Period
Mood level rises to above moderate and stays rather constant.
Students have a more carefree mood, as they no longer need to spend time on academic activites, school work. They can slack and have as much fun as they want in this stage.
As the holidays start, mood level rises only slightly and then holds there as students have more or less adjusted themselves towards a lax environment.
