can reading the bible before taking a test improve your nerves.?

Question

I have very bad nerves when I have to take a test and when I read the bible it seem to calm them down some. I was wonder is there bible verse to read special before taking a test that would help even more.

Answer 1

If it helps you, then great!

For me, it would not help. Just do what feels right to you as long as it is not illegal.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter what you read, just that you calm down. Work on confidence. There are tricks to test taking and I find it interesting to figure out what the test maker is doing. It's very hard to write a test and do a good job. Learn how your teacher does the tests and where the information for the questions may come from. Take your time and don't read too much into the question-just keep it simple. Go over your test when you're through and be very careful if you decide to change an answer. Most often your first choice is right but sometimes I wonder what I was thinking. You know about answer c or pick the longest answer if you don't know. If you know your stuff, relax and you'll do so much better. I guess that comes with confidence. I've seen so many people that I know are prepared but blow the test due to nerves. Do some reading on test taking and it will help you out too. Lots of luck.

Answer 3

Yes. It's called Divine Laziness, and Ignorant Design. Ignorant Design comes into it when people answer a completely different question to what was asked, or choose to rant instead of answering. A lovely example I once had was a cut'n'paste that filled the page, but did not answer the question at all. I've also had a few people who completely ignore the question itself, and just say stuff like 'I agree'. Okay, you agree. Fair enough, now would you like to tell me your answer at any time? Divine Laziness is the other great religious reason for not reading. It takes the form of a question format (I'll steal your example): Q: Why don't Xs ever seem to tolerate Ys? QD: I don't personally think there's many Xs who dislike Ys, it's just a small minority who tend to be extremely rude and disgusting in their attitudes. A case of the noisiest few, so to speak. What's your opinion on this? A: We're not ALL like that!!! Stop being so judgemental!! ummmm.....READ IT NEXT TIME!!!! lol. ((((hugs))))

Answer 4

I find thinking about spiritual things calming before a test, too. I listen to meditation music, put some calming aromatherapy oils on, and read/write inspiring things. Increasing my connection with God right before a test helps in recall and clarity during the exam, too.

John 14: 26
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

It's not just the things that Jesus has said that the Holy Ghost can remind us of. Staying close to God can also help you to receive the promptings of the Holy Ghost, which help us recall the things we've studied. Being spiritual on the day of your exam can be more useful than last minute cramming, IMO.

I believe that respecting the Sabbath Day also helps to increase my success in my studies. Sincere prayers for help in studies are always answered, especially if you pray for help to comprehend and remember what you learn while you are studying. If you do your part, God will reciprocate in kind.

By small means God brings about great things.

Answer 5

It certainly can't hurt! Here is a good one...

Phillipians 4:6- Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let YOUR petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.

Whatever you do read, remember to pray for accurate understanding. Whether God would help you on a test, that is probably unlikely, but if you want to do his will, he will help you have the calm and reasonableness to do so if you ask him!

Answer 6

If you have done it in the past and it worked, than I don't see how it wouldn't now. I think its not actually the reading of the Bible, rather you putting your focus away from your test/trial and putting it on God. Perhaps prayer would work just as well, as you cannot whip out your Bible in school before a test.

Answer 7

ummm i pray real hard that i'll do good on tests
but never right before!
that is not a good idea, it'll make you nervous!
just study, study, study, pray & hope you do good
enter the test room thinking im gonna ace this and i know what i know...
so in conclusion LOTS of studying and motavation and a little bit of praying and hope get you through a test
but if the bible calms you down, great keep goin!=)

Answer 8

Don't worry! The bible has large words but will probably not help your nerves go to bed early if you really want a good grade

Answer 9

Yes i find it very relaxing, just like you i have bad nervos. I can't sleep sometime when i know i have something inportant to do the next day so i read the bible and the next day i'm calm and refreshed(i read it when i get up to).

Answer 10

Yes indeed. Before taking a test, I always quote scripture and I have a perfect 4.0 average. You best believe only for the Mercy of God.

Answer 11

U tell Us??? Enjoy! John

ALL Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3.16-17).

FOR the word of God is alive and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even unto the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4.12).
