Exams have to be taken not only by students, but by those who have graduated from the university long ago. Driver's license, recertification, professional development … There are many reasons. But everyone who passes the exam runs the risk of facing an overtly hostile teacher or examiner. Several lights will help you deal with a difficult situation.
Necessary
- - self-confidence;
- - courage;
- - patience;
- - excellent knowledge of the subject;
- - a well-hung tongue (it does not always save).
Instructions
Step 1
When you take an exam at an educational institution, you always participate in some kind of lottery. Even if the teacher is good, and you know the subject, you can still get a bad ticket, on which you have almost nothing to say. In this case, you can try to ask for the opportunity to draw out another ticket or prepare an answer to a related question. When the teacher tries to correct you, you need to be very believable and sincerely surprised and say that you did not read the ticket carefully, and whether it is possible to answer this question, because you have already prepared it, and you were not mistaken on purpose. The probability of success is not 100%, but this method may work.
Step 2
It happens that the teacher deliberately asks you tricky questions, finds fault with trifles and behaves very unfriendly. Here you should soberly assess your capabilities. If you know the subject perfectly, then you will not be able to completely overwhelm you, you will be able to answer at least at an acceptable level, even if not excellently. Otherwise, it is better to immediately think about retaking.
Step 3
It happens that the teacher flips you, clearly counting on a bribe. Unfortunately, this practice is quite common in some universities. If you see that it is clearly moving towards this, and even after retakes and a clear improvement in the level of proficiency in the subject, you cannot even get a satisfactory grade, then contact the dean's office or department. You have the right to ask another instructor to take the exam. Sufficiently confident and reasoned behavior, combined with knowledge of the subject, increases the chances of success. It is important that you can actually pass this subject, otherwise it will turn out that the teacher is right in not agreeing to take the exam from you.
Step 4
Think, is the teacher really flipping you? Could it be that he is just trying to ask you leading questions in order, on the contrary, to help? It often happens that a student does not know the subject well, but thinks that he is being overwhelmed. Prepare for all exams to be confident in your knowledge. Anyone who can answer the subject perfectly well cannot be overwhelmed.
Step 5
Before you go out to answer to a harsh teacher, to whom not everyone was able to pass something before you, try to feel confident in yourself. Walk firmly to the teacher's desk. With the thought “I know that very well,” start answering. Despite the fact that only your knowledge should be assessed on the exam, the psychology of people is such that they give higher marks to those who are confident in themselves. This is the nature of man, you cannot argue with it. Self-confidence should be manifested not only in the look and expression on the face, but also in the posture. Control yourself: you do not need to nervously fiddle with a pen or other objects or run your eyes. The pose should be relaxed and open.
Step 6
Speak slowly and clearly. If you are in doubt about something or think about what to answer, then instead of a convulsive stutter, maintain a spectacular pause or start a phrase with a long, slowly spoken introduction: "mmm, I think this is …". The voice should sound very confident. Better to practice a little beforehand. Sometimes you can pretend that you know the question but cannot remember the right word. The teacher sometimes helps you in a completely natural way by completing a phrase. Your task is to reveal the topic.
