the pressure of tests


To reduce the pressure of tests it would be advisable to have a plan, a plan that best suits you. For some it takes a day or two to prepare for tests depending on the load of the test and for others it takes weeks. The pressure arises from a lack of inadequate preparation. Before you are given a test you are also given a time frame that tells you how many weeks you have before you take a test. The time given to you before a test serves as a reminder. If you cant remember the exact time and date of a test it is advisable to get a diary. Its these little things that reduce the stress and pressure of tests and at the end of the day it is entirely up to you to make these changes in your life depending on the kind of person you are. In addition to all of this you also need to have a particular style of learning. Some people like me write notes with a variety of colors. This serves as a way of helping me remember things fast. You could also test your self a number of times before the actual test because quite frankly there’s a difference between actually knowing your text and thinking you know. It’s very bad to assume that you know something it is however good to know that you know the appropriate text.  The most important fact is not to panic. Panicking causes you to act irrationally so even when you are right you begin to doubt yourself. It is best to keep calm and relax. Right before a test you could do something that clears you mind like listen to music or read a book. The truth once you have learnt that is learnt very well and tested yourself the moment you see the questions what you have learnt flows back to you. Unless of Corse it’s an aptitude test, which in this case is not meaning that you are presented everything, you need to know before hand. If you follow the right procedures you will most likely never be stressed unless you are a worrywart then I suggest you see a counselor.
