9.Do you sweat,chew(嚼)your pencil,and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out a test?A lot of people get freaked out(興奮)when it is time to take a test.It is natural to feel some stress about taking tests.In fact,sometimes a little adrenaline(腎上腺素)is a good thing to jump-start you.Here are some tips for taking tests:
●First,be sure you have studied properly.It sounds like a no-brainer,but if you are sure of the information,you will have less reason to be worried.
●Get enough sleep the night before the test.Your memory recall (使想起,回想) will be much better if you have had enough rest.In a scientific study,people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
●Listen closely to any instructions.As the teacher hands out the test,be sure you know what is expected of you.
●Read the test through first.Once you have the test paper in front of you,read over the full test,checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete.This will allow you to estimate(估計)how much time you have for each part and ask the teacher any questions.If something seems unclear before you start,don't be afraid to ask.
●Focus(集中)on addressing each question one by one.As you take the test,if you do not know an answer,do not obsess (使困擾) over it.Instead,pass over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions.
●Relax.You might need a mini-break if you are so nervous that you blank out.Of course you cannot get up and move around in the middle of a test,but you can wiggle(擺動)your fingers and toes,take four or five deep breaths,or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm place.
These tips should help most people,but some can get serious test-taking fear.You may need to ask a teacher for help if you are one of them.
