Good question. I’m very streaky with both winning and losing. Great hitters have slumps. If I lose 3 in a row, I’ll lay off for awhile, play the computer bots and do puzzles. It’s mysterious, sometimes the old brain is sharp then concentration goes away for a time.
🎶Sally, the camel had — one slump, so ride, Sally, ride… :)
I've went from 1300 to 1196 which is worse that when I signed up for chess.com. take a break, come back, do puzzles, play a little slower (I switched from 3 minutes games to 5 minute, got to 1300 in no time and I'm on my way to 1500- my highest rating yet! Even though I had 1700 bc I won 2 games and my rating was provisional so it went up 500 points

Also another factor can be due to my exams. My exams ongoing and maybe that's taking a toll on me.

That's just really bad advice. You won't improve like that

Yes! Stop looking at rating. None of us are top 10 so it shouldn’t matter.
Someone was top 11 and a different person was top 100000 they’re the same it doesn’t matter is your reasoning... nice
No, I was just over simplifying a point that if you’re not a pro we are all playing for fun so rating shouldn’t matter…
i mean even no pro players like us strive for something small such as NM so we are still fighting for something even if its not at the highest elite level, after all this is a site to improve
A 50-point drop in rating is hardly a "slump"...
Even 100 points

From 1362 I dropped down to 1310 Daily. Can everyone please suggest me ideas so I can know how to recover (I'll try all ideas )
52 points? Win six games, most likely.
You're playing 157 games. Cut down to 40 and if that doesn't work, to 20. If that doesn't work, to 10. Then you'll improve.
Ok cool
