SEVERAL WAYS TO "ELIMINATE" ANXIETY IN THE EXAM ROOM


 

INTRODUCTION

Too much pressure and comparison from family also makes students lose their composure. Besides, the fear also comes from the fact that students themselves are not confident in the knowledge they have, especially in subjects that are not their forte. Careful preparation is the best way for candidates to overcome initial anxiety and be brave enough to "manage" unexpected situations in the exam room. 

CONTENT:

1. Study carefully for the exam and stay mentally strong

It will be difficult for you to be confident and calm in the exam room if you review for the exam poorly. Therefore, the more thoroughly you review, the better your mind will be during the exam. It can be said that reviewing determines up to 80% of your chance of success, the remaining 20% ​​depends on your performance on exam day. 

Review the exam thoroughly: It is difficult for students to confidently enter the exam room if the review process is sloppy and lazy. The more thoroughly you review, the more mentally stable you will be because reviewing determines up to 80% of a student's chance of success, the remaining 20% ​​depends on the student's performance on exam day.

2. Do not omit the date of regulation instructions

Many candidates often do not place much importance on being present on the exam day because they believe they know all the regulations and are familiar with the exam location. However, the advice of former candidates is that the exam procedure session plays an important role in making you feel more secure. That is your opportunity to sit in the exam room and get used to the exam atmosphere.

3. Arrive at the test site at least 30 minutes early

In addition to avoiding unexpected traffic incidents, leaving early will create a comfortable state of mind for you before entering the exam room. Imagine how confused you would be when you hurriedly ran into the exam room because you were afraid you would be late. Even if you get to the exam center in time, the fear of being late will "haunt" you until you take the exam, affecting your test results. Therefore, proactively arrive 30 minutes early and spend these 30 minutes to relax your mind and focus all your attention on taking the upcoming test.

4. Bring filtered water

In the exam room, candidates face many difficult questions and unexpected situations. In difficult situations, a sip of filtered water will help students clear their minds and become calmer. Candidates should drink slowly in sips to achieve better results.

At the same time, when bringing water into the exam room, you should remove all labels on the bottle to avoid suspicion of cheating.

 

5. Bring extra school supplies

Confusion and panic due to a pen running out of ink or a broken computer are unfortunate situations for many candidates. It is not difficult to avoid these situations, contestants just need to bring backup tools to be more confident.

6. Don't be "afraid" of the supervisor

Many candidates feel psychological stress when observing the supervisors' work. Remember that proctors are not "the enemy on the other side of the line" but see them as people who support you and help make the exam more serious and safer. Don't be too "afraid" of the invigilators and lose focus, what you need to do now is to put all your brain and spirit into the upcoming test.

7. Don't care about the answers when you finish the exam

Most candidates are curious to check their answers after completing the exam. This is a "double-edged sword" because it can help you be more excited when you do well on the test, and conversely, many candidates can easily "collapse" if they discover they have made basic mistakes in doing the test.

8. Plan to sleep well the night before the exam

When you wake up in the morning, don't go into the exam room hungry, but avoid eating foods that are high in sugar or oil, which will make you feel uncomfortable.

Don't try to cram more knowledge before the test because the forgetting curve will cause you to only remember 33% of what you crammed after just one day. However, to create a sense of peace of mind, you can list out a list of things you find important and necessary on paper and read through them a bit in the morning.

ANXIETY IN THE EXAM ROOM is one of the necessary emotions in human life. However, you should also know ways to overcome fear when you feel too stressed and unable to control yourself. With the above suggestions, we hope to help you overcome your fear.
