Every one want to do a stress free test or exam. Here are some tips for Pull Out of Stress from your mind.
- Try to think positive and maintain positive attitude giving the test.
- Once in the hall, take time to settle down and set your table.
- Ignore symptoms of anxiety and focus on your task.
- Do not hurry into reading the question paper.
- Read the directions slowly and carefully. If there are any doubts clarify with the instructor, teacher or invigilator.
- Feel comfortable before you start your answers.
- Budget the time and plan the answers. Allocate time for each question.
- Do the simple questions first to help you build up your confidence for the harder questions.
- Choose the best known questions if choices are available.
- If you do not know a question, move on to the next after leaving some space; try it later. If not sure of an answer, do not spend long time thinking and recalling answers. Go to the next question. Handle the less known questions later.
- Leave space after each answer so that you can add later if you need to.
- Do not worry about supplementary sheets that others are taking.
- Try and revise your answers finally. Try to finish a little earlier. Then go through the paper to correct mistakes/ underline important points etc. Highlight important points – underline, write in capital etc.
- If you are feeling stressed during a test, try relaxation techniques , such as :
- Take in a deep breath, and then take it out. Try to release the tension with each breath you exhale.
- Tighten up your hand or feet muscles for 5 seconds and then release the tension to keep you relaxed. Repeat this couple of times.
- Visualize a peaceful and relaxing setting to feel light and relaxed.
- If you experience extreme test anxiety even after following these tips, seek help from your school counselor.
