Hey Jojo. I do know I stated I might be gone for some time however because you’re actually tutorial I simply wished to ask how do you cope with examination stress? Bc for me I’ve my exams for my last undergrad yr in per week and a bit and I’ve my notes prepared and I am on schedule largely and revising however I simply really feel actually scared. I really feel like these items will not stick in my head and I will open up the paper and never have the ability to reply nicely (particularly since I’ve to write down scientific essays) so I cry fairly a bit and stress out
oh man, i hope this isn’t too late!! i’m a extremely good check taker and that i’ve by no means actually had anxiousness about it; generally right here’s some good recommendation:
- every part you’ve discovered is in your head. simply because you’ll be able to’t spontaneously keep in mind it proper now doesn’t imply it gained’t come again on the slightest prompting. that’s the way it works!! belief your self. it’s all in there.
- flip by means of the complete check. you actually don’t need to notice you might have 5 minutes left and oh yeah, wait, there actually is a protracted query on the again web page.
- reply what you’ll be able to first. you’ll really feel higher when you’ve acquired one thing down. and write quick, don’t hesitate, simply begin smacking down solutions. it’ll get your thoughts going and that i can’t rely the variety of occasions i’ve been at a loss on another query on my first learn by means of and had it come dashing again to me as quickly as i began going by means of the motions. it’ll provide you with extra time to work on the lengthy stuff!
- by no means depart something clean. e v e r. that is very true for math checks. actually make up an equation and begin fixing it if you must. simply make it appear like you thought you knew what you have been doing. they need to see effort and important pondering and confidence in your data. present ‘em.
- cross out stuff you’ve finished. if it’s a protracted query, i am going by means of piece by piece and begin crossing out the parts i’ve answered. typically i even quantity/letter the totally different components of the query and put little numbers/letters on my reply subsequent to every half so the grader can see that sure, i actually did do every a part of this. and then you definately don’t neglect something!
- write properly and preserve it organized. the perfect recommendation i ever acquired was “if you’d like one thing from somebody, give them a technique to give it to you” so give your professor or the check grader the prospect to see the perfect in your work. don’t conceal solutions from them. field and underline no matter you must.
- don’t be afraid to write down notes in your paper. mine all the time find yourself coated in little arrows and messages “like that is the reply assuming ____ is true, if not ____ would clearly be the fitting reply.” there’s no laborious and quick rule which you can solely put down one reply tbh.
- don’t take a look at anybody else’s paper. i do know, i know you need to look round to see how far alongside everybody else is. simply don’t. deal with you. you’re a bubble of serenity, and nobody is aware of how to do that higher than you do.
- and most significantly: put down every part you realize. that is your probability to show you realize these items, and also you do. you completely do. each single factor you assume is related to a solution? put it down. do parentheses, do sidebars, do no matter you must. particularly in a science course, they’re by no means going to mark you down for extra for improper essay construction than they are going to for not exhibiting a full reply.
i believe that’s it!! good luck on exams everybody!!!!
