1) Learn to talk
When you are restless and worried about the exam, you might as well speak out your feelings and let others share it with you. A loyal audience can help you reduce the stress caused by tension.
In addition, you can also write your feelings into a letter and then throw it aside to give yourself a certain amount of "worry" time before you resolve it. Don't let depression accumulate in your heart, causing depression to grow and eventually worry becomes a disease.
(2) Adjust understanding
It is necessary to adjust incorrect understanding of the exam, eliminate ideological concerns, and enhance self-confidence. The college entrance examination is no different from previous examinations of all sizes. On the contrary, it is more scientific, objective and fair. Generally speaking, as long as you are well prepared, there is no problem in getting good grades. There is no need to sanctify it and worry about it all day long.
In addition, the concept of becoming a talent should also be changed, and the understanding of failure should be changed. Going to university is not the only way, there are thousands of ways to become a talent. In today's era of reform and opening up, society needs a large number of talents of all kinds, not just college students. Those who fail can still become talents as long as they study hard and work hard.
With this kind of psychological preparation, you will naturally face the exam calmly, eliminate tension and anxiety, and realize that "I have fought against everything in the world, and success or failure is not up to me" and "I have tried my best, but I can't pass the exam." I have a clear conscience" and "If I pass the exam, there is still a way out, but if I fail, there is still a way out." Instead, I will no longer be anxious and upset because there is no way out if I fail the exam.
(3) Maintain appropriate motivation
Most people may think that the stronger the motivation for learning, the higher the enthusiasm for learning and the better the efficiency of learning. But that's not the case. Sometimes the motivation to learn is too strong, and learning efficiency will decrease. This is related to people's emotional tension and anxiety. A low level of anxiety is necessary in learning activities, but excessive tension often results in failure to perform to a normal level and cannot achieve expected results. If the motivation to go to college is too strong, then entering the examination room will cause "stage fright" due to emotional tension, which will reduce the efficiency of memory and thinking, and even the more familiar questions will not be able to be answered. Of course, if you have an indifferent attitude towards the exam and lack the motivation to win, you will not do well in the exam. The correct approach is to maintain appropriate motivation for studying and taking exams. Only when the intensity of learning motivation is at the optimal level can learning activities produce the best results.
(4) Learn to take leisure time while studying hard
Intense and heavy review will inevitably make people nervous and depressed at times. At this time, it is best to put down the books temporarily Walking outdoors, watching the spring flowers and autumn fruits, listening to the cicadas and birds, and being in the embrace of nature can achieve the purpose of adjusting the nervous state of mind.
(5) Strengthen physical exercise and maintain an optimistic mood
British educator Spencer believes that "a healthy personality resides in a healthy body". Only by maintaining physical health can mental health be ensured. There are many people who are nervous and depressed who feel much more relaxed after sweating through physical exercise. Scientific research has proven that some breathing exercises, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., can increase people's confidence and increase their energy. Because these activities completely relax the body, thereby eliminating tension and anxiety.
Therefore, you must spare enough time for physical exercise in addition to your busy studies. It is best to develop a physical exercise plan based on your physical condition and objective conditions. You must have a healthy and strong body. .
(6) Learn to self-adjust your psychology
You should have a calm mind before the exam. To balance your psychology, you should learn how to adjust your psychology. It is of great benefit to learn some psychological knowledge and master some psychological adjustment methods. The two simplest psychological adjustment methods are introduced below.
The first is to learn to relax deeply. For example, you often do this exercise before an exam: while your whole body is deeply relaxed, imagine the tense situation in the exam room. Start with the weakest situation, repeat it, and slowly you will no longer experience nervousness and anxiety in any stressful situation you imagine or during the entire exam.
The second is to learn positive self-suggestion. Autosuggestion means suggesting a certain idea to yourself. It implies a strong mental set and guides potential motivation to produce behavior. Through self-suggestion, you can adjust your mood, emotions, feelings, hobbies, will and even abilities, which plays a very positive role. When facing a tense examination room before an exam, you can repeatedly remind yourself to "calm down, calm down". Under the influence of this kind of self-suggestion, distracting thoughts in your mind will automatically disappear, thereby eliminating anxiety and relaxing your body and mind.
The simplest method is introduced below: First, sit in a sitting position, lean your back gently on the chair, keep your head straight, lean forward slightly, place your feet shoulder-width apart, and place the soles of your feet close to each other. then put your hands flat on your thighs, close your eyes and take three deep breaths quietly, eliminate distracting thoughts, direct your attention to the edges of your hands and thighs, and concentrate your thoughts on the palms of your hands; finally, you will feel that your attention is directed first Warmth sensation slowly occurs in the affected area, and then gradually spreads to the entire palm of the hand. At this time, you can repeat in your mind: "The more you calm down, the warmer your hands will be." In this way, when you open your eyes, you will feel relaxed and refreshed.
When performing autosuggestion, you must keep in mind the "Five Principles", that is, the sentences you recite silently must be simple and powerful; they must be positive (this is very important. If you say "I don't want to fail", even though you have not said failure , but this kind of negative language will imprint the concept of "failure" in your subconscious mind. Therefore, you must say positively: "I want to succeed."); be "feasible" to avoid psychological conflicts and resistance. ; When reciting silently or aloud the sentences you have set, you must clearly look at the image in your mind; you must put your emotions into it.
(7) Continuous self-motivation
Incentive means stimulating and encouraging, so that people can generate an inner motivation to move towards the desired goal. William James, a psychologist at Harvard University in the United States, found that a person who is not motivated can only exert 20% to 30% of his ability, but when he is motivated, his ability can be exerted to 80% to 90% . That is to say, the same person, after being fully motivated, can play 3 to 4 times the role before being motivated.
Here are six self-motivation steps:
1 Determine in your mind the score you want to get.
2 Decide exactly what effort and price you will put in to get the score you want.
3. Set a fixed date and be sure to complete what you want to do before this date.
4. Draw up a feasible plan to realize your ideal and implement it immediately.
5 Write down the above four points clearly, and they must be in black and white.
6 You might as well read the contents of the plan you wrote out loud twice a day. Once before going to bed at night and once in the morning after getting up.
(8) Establish a successful self-image.
Psychologists have proven that if a person sits in front of a target every day and imagines throwing darts at the target, after a period of time, this mental practice can improve accuracy almost as much as actual dart throwing practice.
In fact, many successful people since ancient times have used this method consciously or unconsciously to improve themselves and achieve success. Before Napoleon led his troops across Europe, he had mentally "exercised" the military for many years.
Therefore, if you want to succeed in the exam, you must establish a successful self-image in your heart. Emerson, a famous American psychologist, believes: "Vividly imagining yourself as a loser will prevent you from winning; vividly imagining yourself as a winner will bring immeasurable success." Before the exam, you Just relax your nerves, think in your mind about what you really want to achieve, and then let your creative success mechanisms take care of the task without exerting too much conscious effort or iron willpower or worrying too much, always doubting The correctness of everything you do.
(9) Scientific work and rest
The ancients said: "The human heart cannot be used for a day, especially not for a day without nourishment", because the heart "will stagnate if not used" and "if not nourished" Then lose weight.” Therefore, in daily review, we must pay attention to scientific work and rest, balance work and rest, and do not study or play excessively. It is best to develop a scientific work and rest system, and strive to go to bed early and get up early, without burning the midnight oil or fighting fatigue. This will ensure you have plenty of energy and a clear mind during the exam.
In addition, diet during review is also very important. During the exam preparation period, the learning tasks are heavy and the brain power is high. You must pay attention to your daily diet and nutrition. Eat more protein-rich eggs, beans, fish, and meat. You should also eat more foods such as apples, bananas, grapes, Celery, spinach, radish and other brain-tonifying vegetables and fruits.
(10) Have a good laugh before the exam
According to scientific research, when people laugh, their heart, lungs, back and body are quickly exercised, and the muscles of their arms and legs are affected. stimulated. After laughing, blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tone decrease, making you relaxed. The process of laughter can also form a special excitation focus in the cerebral cortex, inhibiting other areas, thereby allowing the brain to rest. Laughter can dispel people's wariness, stabilize their emotions at critical moments, eliminate fear, calm down, think about countermeasures, and strive for victory.
Before the exam, in order to liberate people from a tense, boring and troubled state, we might as well laugh. You can laugh anytime and anywhere under the guidance of jokes, and are not restricted by venue equipment. The posture can be supine, sitting or standing as needed. The first step is to start the practice. You should determine the posture and degree of laughter you are practicing, close your eyes slightly, eliminate distracting thoughts, and enter a state of tranquility. The second step is to induce laughter. After practicing, you can retrieve the required jokes from your memory and produce laughter under the teasing of the jokes. You should laugh happily and heartily. The third step is to practice. When the laughter of a certain joke disappears, you can practice it. When practicing, place the palms of your hands facing each other, rub them to generate heat, wash your face from top to bottom several times, and slowly open your eyes. Laughter training depends on your own situation. Generally, you can practice for 1 to 10 minutes each time. It can also be extended appropriately. It is appropriate to practice three times a day.
In addition, before the exam, you can also take a warm bath, take deep breaths, take a walk and other relaxation methods to relieve psychological stress.
2. What should candidates pay attention to before entering the examination room and after entering the examination room?
Before entering the examination room, candidates must first clean up and prepare the necessities for the in-class examination, such as pens, examination card-painting tools (2B professional card-painting pens, erasers, pads, etc.), admission tickets (art schools) Candidates must also bring professional re-examination certificates), stationery (ruler, set square, compass) required for the corresponding examination subjects, etc., and remember to fill the pen with ink (black or blue only). Also be careful not to be late.
After entering the examination room, you should immediately take your seat and open the admission ticket and place it on the upper right side of the desk. After the answer sheet is issued, you should write your name and exam number in the designated spaces on the answer sheet according to the instructions of the invigilator, and use a card-painting pen to fill in the exam number and subject code in the designated columns. Be sure to fill it out accurately, otherwise the computer may not be able to read it.
After the test paper is distributed, do not rush to answer the questions. Instead, you should first check whether the test paper is the same as the exam paper for the class, whether the page numbers are complete, and whether the paper is damaged, reprinted, blurred, etc. If any problems are found, Report to the invigilator immediately. Then fill in your name, exam number, etc. according to the instructions of the invigilator. If the exam bell has not yet rung, you can take a quick look at the test paper to get an overall impression of the entire paper.
You must answer questions after the exam bell rings. Answering questions in advance will be punished as a disciplinary violation.
3. What should I do if I have stage fright during the exam?
During the college entrance examination, some candidates may experience stage fright, ranging from nervousness, flushing, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, to nausea and shock. At this time, candidates must not panic blindly, but should relax temporarily. For example, you can sit upright with your eyes closed, calm yourself down, take deep breaths for more than ten times, and then press your temples with the thumbs of both hands, repeating several times. You can also think about your favorite people and pleasant things, or silently recite some inspiring famous sayings. When your mood gradually becomes relaxed and cheerful, and your emotions return to normal, continue answering questions calmly. Even if it takes a little time, don't be anxious. Tell yourself that it is good to persevere, and you should work hard until the end of the exam with confidence. Of course, if a candidate is in a state of shock, he or she must seek emergency medical treatment quickly.
For exam stage fright, prevention should generally be given priority. If candidates have both the spirit of fighting to win and the mental preparation to face temporary defeats, and treat the college entrance examination with a positive and optimistic attitude and a normal mentality, then stage fright in the exam can be avoided.
4. What should I do if I have thinking difficulties during the exam?
During the exam, some candidates will suffer from mental blockage due to nervousness. Memory and thinking are temporarily blocked, and the brain goes blank. If this occurs, the first step is to work to regain composure. It should be noted that blocked thinking is like a river that is blocked. It can gather momentum and rush forward, and your mind may suddenly become enlightened. Therefore, don’t be afraid or nervous, but happily hint to yourself: inspiration and enlightenment are coming, so you might as well wait for it calmly! Secondly, we must transfer the excitement point. The thinking disorder is caused by solving a certain test question (not necessarily a difficult problem). Since the idea of ????this question is not smooth, it is better to put it down for the time being and do another question. Again, try to activate your ideas. Such as developing multi-directional associations, reverse thinking, etc., and conducting multi-angle and multi-faceted analysis of test questions to restore normal thinking.
5. How to avoid inadvertent mistakes in the college entrance examination?
Due to anxiety and other reasons, it is easy to make various inadvertent mistakes in the college entrance examination. Common ones include:
(1) Forgetting to bring all the necessary supplies when taking the exam. For example, when you arrive at the test center, you find that you don’t have your admission ticket (re-examination ticket) or necessary test tools, stationery, etc.
(2) Not paying attention to self-protection during the exam, the scratch paper and test papers were peeked at and plagiarized, resulting in the same test papers.
(3) The pen (ballpoint pen) used to answer the questions was not filled with enough ink (refill) before the test. The ink ran out halfway through answering the questions and I switched to a pen of a different color. As a result, the handwriting on the paper was of different colors. Violated exam regulations.
(4) When the bell rang at the end of the exam, I was at a critical point in answering the question (correcting errors) and tried to write a few more strokes, which resulted in a disciplinary violation and punishment.
(5) Failure to put the test papers and answer sheets on the table in the prescribed order before leaving the test, or leaving too early, causing the test papers to be peeked, altered or transferred.
(6) Not paying attention to cleaning up things when leaving the examination room, taking the answer sheet and draft paper with the backing board, resulting in a disciplinary violation.
