In order to pass the exam well, you need, firstly, to properly prepare for it, and, secondly, not to get confused during the exam. The best recipes from psychologists are at your service.
Prepare in advance. Do you want some knowledge to remain in your head? You need to read the text more than once or twice and give time to assimilate new information. If you start preparing on the night before the "doomsday", your brain will not have time to process everything properly.
Make a preparation plan. To do this, you can divide the number of tickets by the remainder of the days before the exam. Set aside time for force majeure. What if you get sick or urgent matters appear? Study the material according to this outline.
Take breaks and rest. The concentration of attention is not unlimited. We worked for one hour - deserved a break for 10-15 minutes. Move often and be outdoors.
Recycle the material so that it is easier to remember. Simplify, divide, shorten, use fast memorization techniques.
Try to devalue the exam. Don't give so much importance to your grades. Just think, do not give up. You always have a second chance, life doesn't end there. If you do feel very scared, imagine in detail what might happen. You can assume that you have already experienced this "horror".
Avoid socializing with people who are anxious and nervous. If your friends or parents are cheating on you, tell them that it is bothering you. As a last resort, stop communicating with them for a while.
Inverted yoga asanas have a good effect on brain function and relieve stress. If you are not familiar with yoga yet - do the "birch tree", known from school physical education lessons.
Learn soothing breathing techniques. For example, take a deep breath, slowly counting to three, and then exhale slowly. When we are worried, breathing becomes shallow and fast, slowing it down, we normalize our well-being.
Make yourself a "talisman". Choose a subject that you can take with you to the exam. For example, a pendant or even shoes. Take this object in your hands, close your eyes and imagine that you are in a place where you feel good and calm, you are overwhelmed with confidence and a sense of security. Repeat the "rite" for several days. During the exams, your boots will instill in you the confidence you charged them with.
On the eve of the exam, prepare all the necessary things and documents and go to bed early. This will relieve you of the fatigue and tardiness that can heighten your anxiety. If your soul is restless, speak out, to someone close.
On the day of the exam, wake up a little earlier than necessary, properly, refresh yourself at breakfast - you need energy. It is better not to get carried away with Valerian - it causes drowsiness and problems with concentration.
During the exam, first answer all the easy questions, and then go over to the difficult ones. This will help you not to get stuck at the very beginning on a difficult question and not get upset in advance. Remember everything you can remember, mentally transfer yourself to the atmosphere of your room, imagine how you open a lecture or a textbook. Do not forget to double-check the work before submitting.
If your teacher is the worst thing in your exam, imagine in his place your good friend or a fluffy stuffed rabbit - and answer. Just don’t talk to the “friend” in youth jargon and pat the “hare” on the head!
