how to handle my fear of taking exam?

Answer 1

Long-range perceptions to handle your fear of taking exam


*
Discard examination phobia
*
Keep your confidenceat the highest level
*
Improve your vocabulary
*
Study the lessons well, following the right styles of learning
*
Use the syllabus and the previous question papers to guide you
*
Write out some of the answersto confirm your skills, including speed of thinking and writing
*
Prepare a data sheet containing the vital points of all essays, make suitable mnemonics of the points, and write all of them in one single place
*
Note formulae and definitions in a single place







Just Before the Exam



*
Confirm date, time, and venue of the examination
*
Confine your studies to the syllabus
*
Revise the lessons using summaries, points and mnemonics you have made.
*
If you find that you do not have sufficient time to study the entire syllabus area, you have two options-either skim through the entire portions mastering none of the portions, or choose certain specific areas that are the favourites of the question setters and study thoroughly.If you go for the former, you may not be able to answer any question satisfactorily. So the latter is preferable in such a situation. The right course is to study all the lessons well using the whole of the academic year/semester
*
Arrange a watch, pens, pencil, eraser, instruments, calculator all documents such as hall tickets etc. on the previous day. It is better to use a watch with moving needles;the digital type may require calculations to know the remaining time at any moment during the test. Your pen should give a fine flow of ink. Keep a spare pen with you.
*
Avoid using knives or other sharp instruments, and partcipating in games that could possibly cause physical injury some days prior to the examination
*
Avoid quarrels, fights and arguments that may create stress
*
Do not sacrifice your time for sleep. If you stay up all nightyou will not be able to perform well in the examination
*
If you are in the habitof studying early in the morning, do not forget to keep an alarm clock to wake you up. If you oversleep, you will miss the opportunity to give final touches to your preparation
*
Reach the examination centreatleast half-an-hour before the sheduled time of commencement. If you make a hurried entry to the examination hall, you are likely to forget many things. Further, in certain examination latecomers are denied admittance
*
Avoid too much of discussion with fellow candidates who may bring forward topics you have not studied. At a stage when you cannot take up new lessons, such talk would only make you tense.
*
Before entering the examination hall, make sure you do not have any slip or paperwith you that may contain lesson notes. Also visit the toilet/washroom
*
Enter the examination hall with confidence. Think about what you know and not what you don't know.

Answer 2

Just make sure you are prepared for it. Study for a few nights before the test. When you get into the test room, make yourself comfortable. Talk to some of your fellow classmates beforehand to relieve some tension. Make sure you have a bottle of water in case you get thirsty. I also like to have a few peppermints as well. Once you get the test, don't get upset if you don't know a question. Just star it and come back at the end. Try to take a few deep breaths.

Try not to think about the test as a big deal. If you go to class on a regular basis and have studied as much as you could, you will most likely be fine. Just believe in your abilities. Teachers don't give tests hoping the students will fail. They are just trying to assess what you know and if they did a good job of teaching the subject material.
