You walk into the classroom, look at that white piece of paper in front of you and are told you’ve got an hour and a half to do it. That can make anyone nervous, but here is the guide to stay calm. Get a good night’s sleep the night before the test, and eat a healthy breakfast next day. 36 If you’re too tired, you won’t remember what you learnt the night before.
Get to class a little earlier. If you get there early, you’ll make sure to get your favorite seat. 37____.
Breathe. Before the test, breathe in through your nose deeply and slowly. 38 Repeat this several times. If you experience a sudden panic during the test, perform the exercise again.
Skip questions if necessary. 39 If you come across a difficult question, skip the question and move on. You can come back to it at the end of the test if you have time, and later questions may help you get the answer(s) to the one(s) you skipped.
40 Don’t panic if you notice other students writing very quickly or handing in their tests early. Tell yourself it’s just a test. Really, it is. No matter what happens, everything will be OK.
A. Avoid staying up the night before the exam.
B. Act like you are the only person in the room.
C. Don’t spend too much time on any one question.
D. If you believe you can do it, you will find you can!
E. A little exercise will help you remain calm during any stressful situation.
F. Then, hold your breath for 3-4 seconds and blow out slowly through your mouth.
G. You’ll also feel more relaxed if you don’t get there in time or worse yet, late.
