Answer 1

It is good to see that you are serious about your school work.

You have also identified a good motivator: Being able to train more in Martial Arts.

Those are the two main ingredients to success, that many young people lack.

Now simply work on the concentration aspect of it and you'll do fine.

Concentration requires the ability to have selective tunnel vision and hearing. When you first enter the room, don't talk to anyone and don't pay attention to who is sitting where. Sit down and stare at the end of your pencil or any other object or mark on the desk top. That's tunnel vision. Don't allow anyone or anything to distract you, but be sure to listen to the instructions for the test. After the instructions are given tune everything in the room out. If you have to, put earplugs in your ears.

Congratulations! You have already passed a very big test: Caring about your future and determining that you are going to do something about it.

Answer 2

Try to break a stack of 300 SAT booklets in half with your bare hand, once you can do that, you will be ready. Also, if a question stumps you, kick it in the throat. Other SAT training should include lifting weights and doing a lot of fishscale. If you realize that you are failing on test day, always resort to violence but only against the test itself, not your fellow man.

Answer 3

Diet makes a big difference. Make sure you're eating "brain food," such as oatmeal, bran, raisins, etc. High protein and whole carbs.

Also, isolation helps. Find a place with minimal distractions (I could never study in my room because I had too many things around me to distract me. Instead, I'd sit on the roof of my house.) and very little sound. As far as the test itself, be confident in yourself and you'll do much better. (Remember that your first instinct is nearly always right. Also remember to read everything thoroughly.)

Answer 4

Before taking a test, take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed. Say to yourself in your own mind "when I see the questions the answers will come clearly into my head". This is a type of meditation that can help you feel more relaxed and remain focused during the test.

Answer 5

TKD Ash, you seem like a good student, with good character.

I would just study, and apply right effort into your school work as you do when applying or studying technique at the dojo.

You will do good never the lesss. Have faith in your ability.

Also do ask for help if you need it, do not let your pride interfere with your understanding of your studies.


peace, and much respect,

Answer 6

Wing Chun

Answer 7

The fundamentals are the same. How do you focus in MA? Do the same thing when studying for & taking your sats. We all have different ways of focusing so you have to know what works for you.

Answer 8

martial arts doesn't "teach" you focus any more than any other activity or hobby or sport. you think just because you take martial arts you will be more "disciplined" than hershell walker, charles darwin or mozart?

Each of whom thier dedication came from thier love of thier respective "activities turned hobbies turned careers?".

Answer 9

just dont pay attention to anything else but at the same time dont take it 2 seriously as that is likely to make you nervous

Answer 10

Detach from all.
