7 Best Ways To Overcome Examination Fear
Table Of Interest
If you have ever wished that there should be a school without exams, then you probably are not alone.
Truth be told, everyone must at a time have wished if there were no exams.
Whether you agree with me or not, the examination is one of the scariest things any student has to deal with.
I have seen several occasions where top students complain about exams.
Nonetheless, it is often said that do not fear is written 365 times in the Bible.
This means we can use one for each day right?
Why Students Have Examination Fear
Students have examination fear because of lack of preparation.
Several students waste the whole semester clubbing and hanging out with friends.
Some students will even consciously input the time table of all extra curricular activities in their head and attend all to the letter.
Therefore, when exam approaches, they begin to stress themselves up to breaking point.
Often times, because they did not study effectively, they tend not to remember up to 5% of what they have read.
But today, You and I will carefully go through the 7 best ways to overcome exam fear.
By now, you should already have insights about the points am going to discuss about. right?
Lets now head to it.
7 Best Ways To Overcome Examination Fear
If you are ready, take a cold glass of water and give me a smile as we do this together real quick.
Remember That Nobody Is Perfect
Exam is not actually the true test of knowledge.
Although, this does not mean anyone should fail woefully.
Failing in school will make your parents disappointed.
I know you will say Bill Gates and Thomas paine were once failures but they made it.
Yes they actually did, but you don’t have to toil the same the line first.
Since nobody is perfect, strive to strike a balance between everything you do.
Finally, don’t get weighed down by what people say about you.
Manage Your Time Well
You may have not been studying and it is few weeks to the exam but the good part is that there is still a small-time left.
Don’t give an excuse and give up that the exam is already too close.
Learn to manage your time well,
If your read my post on time management tricks, then managing time will not be an issue any longer.
Get at least 6-7 hours of good sleep daily.
If you learn how to manage your time well, you will be able to study effectively for optimal result.
Believe In Yourself
If you fail to believe in yourself, you are believing in yourself to fail.
It doesn’t matter if you have not studied from the beginning of the semester.
Self believe may just be all the trick you need to succeed in the exam and one of the 7 best ways to overcome examination fear.
The truth of the matter is that if you were dull, there would have been no place for you in that school.
But because you are matured enough and can handle stress and pressure, you are there.
Therefore, no need to rush, keep your cool and prepare.
The time remaining will be enough to get at least an A.
I believe in you and so you have to believe in your self.
Always Appear Bright For Any Exam
I have seen instances where several students don’t take their baths to the exam hall. (Cedric, Palmer, Anderson).
While this is not bad or good, I believe they think they are doing the right thing and it works for them.
May smell never be associated with you in Jesus’s name.
Behave like Tejiri who wears suit to the exam hall.
Tejiri is one of my course mate who always looks dope and confident going into the hall.
In case you want to know, he is a very bright student.
You can look good and be very successful in an exam.
You do not necessarily need to have a sleepover on your books first.
Be Informed
It is often said by one of my friend Silas ( An Electrical Engineer) that if you are not informed, you will be deformed oh!!.
Likewise, it is quite critical to have complete information about your exam.
I have seen several cases where students missed their examinations because they think it’s an evening or afternoon paper and so on.
Be kept abreast of the most recent changes to your time table.
Finally, don’t forget to be in the hall like 30 minutes before the exam to enable you to settle.
Take Breaks In Between Study Sessions
I have written about this in how to study effectively.
It will be a crime to go over it again.
Just click on the link to get the full list.
Note Your Challenges
A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
If you have a challenge in any area f your course, endeavor to speak out before the exam.
You can meet your classmates or your lecturers to help you out in that particular area.
You can also plan to have group studies with your mates.
Plan Your Study hours
Everyone has time or period where he/she performs optimally.
Use this time to plan your study hours.
Pick out a time to reverse.
Your revision is often the last thing you have settled for as your own examiner that will be set.
You can’t afford to take it unseriously.
Plan it properly and set time in a specific cool spot clear of distractions.
That’s all on the 7 Best ways to overcome examination fear and boost confidence.
