Exams are a fact of school life for most people. Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed(有压力的), although they have prepared well.
A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can motivate(激发) you to do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities. Here are some ideas to help you.
The keys to being prepared for exams and avoıding unnecessary exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision(复习), and giving yourself enough time to do it.
If you can, find a copy of the syllabus(教学大纲) for each subject. This tells you what you need to know and gives you the topics for revision.
About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your diary. And make a copy to put on your wall at home.
Try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. Tell yourself"It's going to be OK."If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one.
You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Call psychological(心理的) hotline to share your worries and get help from others going through the same experience. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won't last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there.
