Step 1
Exam preparation
Don't put off your exam preparation until last. Incorporate repetition into your daily routine. To do this, it is enough to allocate from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how well you have mastered the topic. This approach will allow you to create that store of knowledge with which you can easily answer the exam.
Step 2
Use cheat sheets correctly
Cheat sheets can be your faithful helpers in one case: if you write them yourself, but you will “forget” to bring them to the exam. The fact is that in the process of creating cheat sheets, you unwittingly answer all the questions of the upcoming exam. Therefore, if you have prepared the cheat sheets in good faith, you can rest assured that you will be able to answer any question on the exam.
Step 3
Study your exam ticket carefully
After taking your ticket, carefully study the questions in it and try to remember what is written in your cheat sheet for this ticket. Write down the answer to each question carefully. This synopsis will help you cope with your anxiety as you answer the exam.
Step 4
Use self-hypnosis techniques
Excessive excitement is one of the factors that prevent you from doing well on the exam. If you know that stress drives you into a stupor, try to "trick" your mind. To begin with, imagine the worst case scenario - you could not pass the exam. What does it threaten you with? Maximum by retaking the exam. Now, point by point, write down what you did in order to avoid this. Include everything! How much time did you spend on repeating the material covered, how many cheat sheets were written, how many positive assessments were received in the course of study.
Step 5
Call on your luck
If you need a "happy shirt" or a nickle under the heel for peace of mind, use them. Belief in your own luck can work miracles. The main thing is that you answer calmly and confidently on the exam. This is especially true for impressionable people, easily amenable to self-hypnosis. Of course, this does not mean that you can rely solely on luck and ignore exam preparation. A lucky omen will only work if you put in the effort.
Step 6
Do not be silent
Even if you are not entirely sure of the accuracy of your answer, do not be silent. Make it clear to the examiner that you have knowledge of the topic, even though you are unable to answer the question posed. In most cases, the person taking the exam will start asking guiding questions to help you navigate and answer the exam correctly.
