How to adjust your mentality if you do not do well in the exam

From elementary school to university, we have to go through many exams. So how should we grasp the mentality of the exam and show our true level? The following is the content I compiled for you on how to adjust your mentality if you do not do well in the exam. It is for reference only. I hope it can help you.

1. Strengthen self-confidence

1. Continue to review step by step to strengthen your strength.

Confidence in the exam is based on exam strength. Therefore, reviewing step by step according to your own review plan, persevering and persevering is an important measure to enhance your confidence in taking exams.

The most effective way to overcome impetuousness before exams is to have goals, plans, something to do, and seize every day.

2. Overall analysis to make up for deficiencies.

As the exam approaches, you should make an overall analysis of your strengths and weaknesses, give full play to your strengths, and find ways to make up for your shortcomings, such as weak subjects, weaknesses, writing, carelessness, etc. Where there are shortcomings, you can spend more time. What steps can you follow to avoid unnecessary mistakes? Only by checking for leaks and filling them in advance and making early preparations can we be prepared. In short, do not fight random wars or unprepared wars.

3. Appropriate examination goal positioning

Make an objective analysis of your own level, ability, and pros and cons of each subject, and pragmatically determine a suitable goal. If the goal is set too high, self-confidence will be frustrated when it is difficult to achieve, which will affect test performance; but if the goal is too low, it will not be conducive to stimulating one's potential.

For example, if you usually score 70-80 points in your math test, then your test goal can be set to 78. During the test, as long as you carefully complete the multiple-choice questions and fill in the blanks, you will have a psychological advantage. Now You only need to do one more big question to achieve your goal, and you will make money on two questions. Are you still nervous?

4. Carry out self-confidence psychological training

Language hints: When you get up every day, silently say to yourself "I can do it", "I will definitely do well in the exam", "I am definitely capable" "Do well in the exam" and other positive hints and sentences that motivate yourself;

Behavioral hints: such as holding your chest up and raising your head, walking with a slightly faster and stronger pace (implying confidence, I am not afraid), smiling heartily (implying confidence, I am not afraid) Relax). Before the exam, you should try to avoid negative behavioral cues such as "knitted eyebrows" and "dejected".

2. Adjust your mentality and optimize your emotions

1. Treat the exam with a normal mind

Before a major exam, it is not easy to maintain a normal mind. But you can act like this: seize the time, review hard, and try your best to do it. Moreover, you should pay more attention to the process of reviewing for the exam, rather than the results. This exam may be important to you, but there is more than one path to success.

Remember: Don’t take the exam too seriously, treat the exam with the mentality of studying the exam, and let go of success or failure.

2. Don’t take the tension and anxiety before the test too seriously

Candidates will have test anxiety before and during the test, that is, they are a little nervous, a little uneasy, and a little anxious. This is unavoidable for candidates.

Psychological research shows that: on the eve of a major exam, if you are not nervous or the anxiety level is too low, and you have no sense of urgency or pressure in studying, your test results will not be ideal; if the anxiety level is too high, you will be extremely nervous, and It will affect normal thinking; on the contrary, a moderate level of anxiety is more conducive to exerting one's abilities and stimulating potential.

It is quite common for candidates to have moderate anxiety before and during the exam. Some candidates take their anxiety and nervousness too seriously, thinking that it will affect their performance in the exam. They must not know other factors. Candidates are just as nervous and anxious as you are. Therefore, don’t take the tension and anxiety within the normal range too seriously. Thinking too much about it is not good.

In a word, moderately nervous.

3. Maintain the rhythm of daily life

Maintain the rhythm, regularity, and schedule of daily life. Do whatever you need to do, and try not to change it because of exams. Of course, some work and rest times still need to be adjusted. For example, if a student is energetic and quick-thinking at night, he should gradually adjust to be able to achieve this state during the day, because the exam is held during the day.

3. Common self-regulation methods before exams

1. Deep breathing

Deep breathing is a simple and easy way to adjust your mood and helps stabilize your mood. , relax, etc. Candidates sit on a chair with their eyes closed, inhale slowly, and exhale even more slowly. Only by training and doing it frequently can you get better results.

2. Diversion of attention: such as appropriate sports, listening to music, etc., to relieve tension and eliminate fatigue;

3. Stretch

4. Frequently Asked Questions Answer

1. My mind is getting more and more “sluggish” before the exam. What’s going on?

If you study too much and your brain becomes tired, you will become dull - go out to exercise, breathe fresh air, or look at the green plants in the distance and you will quickly recover.

2. How to adjust yourself in the examination room and perform at a normal level?

First adjust your daily routine to be like an exam, and the exam will be like usual.

When you usually do questions, you must complete them according to time and answer the questions within a time limit. Don't think about a question for a long time, finish what you can do first, and try not to lose any points on the questions you can do. If you perform stably, you will be more confident.

Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and relax and relax, so that you will be energetic and focused.

During the exam, try to think as little as possible about the results of the exam. Even if there are questions that you can’t do, don’t be nervous. If you can’t do it, others can’t do it either. Don't compare with others, especially good friends, compare yourself with your past, and just do your best. I have a message for my classmates: Try your best and prepare for the worst.

3. How to overcome anxiety and nervousness before exams?

Exam tension directly affects the level of knowledge and performance. Here are several ways to overcome and relieve stress before exams. You may wish to give it a try.

(1) Deep breathing method: Find a relatively quiet place before the test, stand, eyes slightly closed, relax the whole body, take a deep breath, and at the same time recite "1-2-3" silently, inhale deeply and fully, Exhale slowly and evenly. Relax your whole body. Another method is to tighten all the controllable muscles in the body from head to toe, and then exhale slowly until the whole body relaxes. This can slow down the blood circulation, calm down the mind, and give the whole body a sense of relaxation.

(2) How to make a weird face: Find a slightly remote place to make a weird face, twist your mouth and lips, raise your nose and squint your eyes, and relax your facial muscles. If you can face a small mirror and see your own weird expression, you will definitely laugh uncontrollably, and all your worrying thoughts will disappear.

(3) Spiritual victory method: I think in my heart, I will definitely succeed, I will definitely be able to perform exceptionally and get good grades. I didn't do well in the exam, and neither did others. On the contrary, it will reduce stress and maintain a sense of calm.

(4) On-the-spot activity method: Since normal nervousness will also produce a large amount of heat energy in the body, you can move a little before the exam to dissipate the heat. You can walk, trot, swing, and kick; you can clench and release your hands to tighten and relax the muscles throughout your body; you can twist a certain part of your body during the exam. This way the tension will gradually disappear.

(5) Close your eyes and rest your mind: Close your eyes, touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, inhale through your nose, and calm your mind. You can imagine a person walking in a quiet forest, feeling at ease.

(6) Staring method: Locate a clear object that is far away, concentrate and carefully analyze and ponder its color and distance.

(7) Prose entertainment method: You can read some literary works you like to make you cheerful and emotional, regain your sense of superiority and restore your self-confidence.

(8) Autosuggestion method: "I am fully prepared and will definitely do well in the exam", "Nervousness is the behavior of a coward."

(9) Association method: When you are nervous, think about the successful things you have done, recall the psychological experience when you were successful, imagine the beautiful and happiest things and scenes, and imagine the scene at that time vividly. Find your happiest feeling and revel in imaginary situations. It can be blue sky and white clouds, floating on the clouds, or imagine the feeling of being on the endless seaside with the waves gently lapping at you. This can feel very satisfying and relieve tension.

4. Before the exam, I suddenly lost confidence and felt that I might not do well in the exam. How can I increase my self-confidence?

Methods to enhance self-confidence:

One of the methods: recall the glory and reproduce the glory. When we see success, we have confidence in the future; when we see failure, we lack confidence and doubt about the future. Therefore, to enhance self-confidence, we must consciously recall successful learning and exam experiences. When we recall these successful situations and experiences, it increases our expectations and confidence in future success.

Method 2: Imagine success. The longing for the realization of our dreams can also inspire our passion and make us confident about success in the exam. We can imagine ourselves freely galloping in the college entrance examination room, imagine getting the ideal test scores, imagine ourselves getting the admission notice from the university we want to be admitted to, imagine ourselves entering the university in our minds when the semester starts in the fall. University scenes and so on.

Method 3: Say to yourself every day: "I can do it." Psychological research has proven the power of autosuggestion. If we tell ourselves "I can do it," we gradually become more capable; if we tell ourselves "I can't," we become increasingly stupid. One of the ways to enhance self-confidence is to use positive suggestion methods to mentally tell yourself "I can do it", "I can succeed", etc. Positive self-suggestion needs to be done frequently, and it is best to make it a part of your daily life.

In addition, listing all the reasons why you can succeed in the exam can also effectively enhance your confidence in the exam.

5. What can I do before the exam?

Sixteen words: strengthen confidence, optimize mood, enter the state, and give full play. In the few days leading up to the exam, if you work hard to do the following things, you may be able to meet the sixteen-character requirement for adjusting your mentality.

(1) Make a good work and rest time plan. Arrange the daily review homework, rest and sleep time reasonably to prevent hectic review, act according to the plan, and enhance the sense of physiological and psychological rhythm.

(2) Seize the best memory time. Psychological research has proven that memory has the best effect half an hour after getting up in the morning and half an hour before going to bed at night because it is not affected by proactive inhibition and postive inhibition. It is recommended that students review the most critical and important course content half an hour after getting up in the morning and half an hour before going to bed at night.

(3) Carry out activities you like. Regulate your emotions, eliminate fatigue, recharge your batteries, and face the exam with a stable and full mood.

(4) Before the exam, walk briskly every day with your chest held high and your head raised to help enhance your confidence. Believe in your own strength and don’t be superstitious.

(5) Adjust sleep. From now on, stop "burning the midnight oil" and adjust your nightly sleep to ten or eleven o'clock according to your own situation. Do not go to bed early the night before the exam, otherwise it will be easy to toss and turn and have difficulty falling asleep, which will make you feel irritable and restless, which will affect the exam.

(6) Be calm and prevent irritability. Don't think about things after the exam, don't argue with others, and treat things before the exam calmly. Some nervousness before an exam is inevitable, but some mild anxiety before an exam can help explore your intellectual potential.

Exam skills for primary school to junior high school

There are countless exams, large and small. We are practicing for exams and summarizing experiences and lessons learned. Here are the summary below. Let’s temporarily name the practical skills in the exam room:

First, at the beginning, the mind is tense and the mind is blank

This is a phenomenon that is easy for many children with poor psychological quality. Such children can develop the habit of handing out papers and quickly browsing them. Look for topics that you are familiar with and give yourself strong psychological hints - this paper is not difficult. Because if it is really a child who has a blank mind due to nervousness, he must have done a lot of questions. Based on our feeling, we can also find similar questions on the paper (if you are not sure about a question in a paper, then it is not Because of psychological stress). After finding an easy question, we can do this question first, and we will not be nervous when we get into the state.

Second, there is no strategy in answering the questions and act recklessly

Performance 1: Stuck on the question, struggling with the same question, wasting time.

Often these students tend to get stuck on the first question, causing unnecessary tension to themselves.

In fact, the difficulty of the questions on a paper is basically randomly distributed. It is normal for a question, especially the first question, not to be solved at once. Spending too much time on a question will often involve us. Solving simple questions makes us sloppy and make super low-level mistakes in these questions, so we have to say that question is "a mouse droppings spoiled the pot of porridge", which makes us regret it after the exam. Therefore, we must pay attention to skills in answering the questions. We just need to answer the questions within the specified time. It does not necessarily have to be in the order of the questions!

Manifestation 2: Blindly seeking speed and answering questions full of loopholes.

This is more obvious in children with moderate levels of education. This often makes us suffer greatly in reviewing questions and presenting them.

Let’s talk about the question review first: when we read the questions, many students had done similar questions sometimes, so they took it for granted, but in fact, the test points of this kind of questions are also in Chen Regarding the difference between the questions, we lose points because we did not understand the question clearly.

Suggestions: Read the questions and draw the key points; use the application questions and draw the quantitative relationship. Be sure to start correctly, otherwise, a question will be "missed by a hair, and a thousand miles wrong."

Let’s talk about expressions. Many times, we just put pen to paper without thinking about it. It seems that we can “know” a certain topic as soon as we think about it, but often “get it wrong as soon as we do it.” We must know the topic well. , you can write, draw, and straighten it out on the draft, and then we can write further. On the one hand, we can ensure the accuracy, and on the other hand, we will definitely not suffer from keeping the paper neat.

Manifestation 3: Being lazy in doing the questions, being lazy if you can.

During our grading process, we found that many students had certain problems in their writing, such as cutting corners in calculation questions, writing crookedly, the numbers in fill-in-the-blank questions being written differently, and the intervals between numbers blurred. Wait, in fact, if it is not marked by a teacher who knows the answers, these answers are difficult to judge. Strictly speaking, they are even wrong. To lose points on this is to lose the cooked duck.

Performance 4: No checking habits at all.

I squeezed the time to finish the last question, scanned it in a hurry, thought that everything was fine, and just waited to hand in the paper. In fact, you can get a lot of points for having good checking habits. According to our habits, we may skip some questions and then go back and make up for them; a simple question may have several answers; there may be problems with application questions; for this question, our answer can be taken back. , you may not be able to match the data of the question if you just solve it once... If you check out one or two questions, your paper may get a perfect score.

Third, during the exam, the mentality is wrong

This is easy to happen among outstanding students and students with lower grades. Good students always feel that they should know every question. , all correct - for this, we want to say, "Full marks are valuable, and stable prices are higher." If you want stable results, you must have a good attitude. Everything starts from the basics and humility. We face You should also be down-to-earth when taking exams. Don’t fail to think first and have no mental baggage so that you can perform better.

Perfect exam skills for the college entrance examination

1. Adjust the clock and enter the role in advance

Scientific research shows that everyone has an excitement period and an inhibition period within 24 hours a day. It is wave-shaped, that is, after a period of excitement, there must be a relative inhibition period. Obviously, if the exam time happens to be during our excitement period, that would be the best; conversely, if the exam time happens to be during our inhibition period, that would be terrible. In fact, many of our classmates usually have this phenomenon. The deeper the night, the more excited the brain is (that is, it is in the excitement period). The next morning, the mind is groggy, that is, the brain is in the inhibition period. This situation is obviously not conducive to the exam. . Therefore, we should adjust our work and rest time a few days before the exam, go to bed at 9:30 pm, and get up around 6 am the next morning. In this way, we can adjust the biological clock to synchronize the excitement period of our brain with the exam time. In this way, we are equal to Entering the role in advance is conducive to normal performance during the exam.

In addition, on the day of the exam, you should generally enter the exam center half an hour in advance. On the one hand, this can eliminate novel stimuli, stabilize your mood, and enter the exam room calmly; on the other hand, it can make your brain start simple tasks of the exam subject in advance. subject activities.

For example, when a test is about to take place in half a day, our brains can start simple activities in advance and enter a single situation, such as reviewing some basic formulas and theorems in our minds, or taking a final look at formulas and theorems that are easy to forget or misremember.

2. Eliminate anxiety and concentrate your energy

Once you have stage fright during an exam, your mind will be empty. You will not be able to recall familiar formulas and theorems, and you will not be able to concentrate. When your mood calms down, a lot of time has been wasted. When you see many unanswered questions, you will become nervous again, forming a vicious circle. At this time, you must quickly adjust to get yourself into a normal test-taking state. You can use the following to regulate anxiety:

1. Autosuggestion. Use your usual excellent scores in exams to hint to yourself that I am the best among candidates and I will definitely be able to get ideal scores. I have difficult questions, but there are also many questions that others cannot do.

2. The decisive battle method is to regard the examination room as the enemy of the exam, and use the lessons of failure due to stage fright in the past to spur yourself to a decisive battle.

3. Don’t rush to answer the questions, feel the paper first

After getting it, write your name and admission ticket number in the prescribed place, first make an overall sense of it and look at this How many pages of high school chemistry is there, what is the total number of questions, how many parts are they divided into, and what types of questions are there. This has two advantages. One is to prevent mistakes in the test paper and replace it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary losses; the other is to have an overall understanding of the entire paper so that a battle plan can be determined as early as possible.

After making an overall perception of the whole volume, find one or two questions whose conclusions can be known at a glance or questions that are easy to answer at a glance. When you look at these questions, your emotions will stabilize as quickly as possible. The tension is eliminated.

4. Arrange it reasonably, with two first, then two.

Now that I have a general idea of ??the difficulty of the test paper and the proportion of raw and cooked points, my mood has stabilized. At this time, the state of my brain has changed from The startup phase enters the excitement phase. As soon as you hear the bell, you can start answering the questions. When solving problems, you should pay attention to the arrangement of two first and then two:

1. Easy first and then difficult

Generally speaking, a successful test paper should have the questions arranged by It can range from easy to difficult, but this is the subjective wish of the proposer, and the specific circumstances vary from person to person. The same question that is difficult for others may be easy for you, so we must not be dogmatic and think like this when we are stuck on a question, "If you can't solve this question, the following question will be solved." Not to mention. "The reality is often: the next question is actually easier! Therefore, you cannot stick to the order from front to back. Depending on the situation, you can first bypass those difficult fortresses, wait until the easy questions are solved, and then concentrate your firepower to conquer them. Another scientific basis for starting with the easy questions and then the harder ones is that after solving a few easy questions first, and getting several or even dozens of points happily, you will immediately feel like you have won, and you will have the pleasure of winning for the first time, which is very important for stabilizing your mood and stimulating your brain. Excitement is good for getting people into the best competitive state.

2. Mature first, then learn

After reading the entire paper, candidates will see more familiar questions, and may also see some new questions or new types of questions. For the former, ——Familiar “fruits” should be picked first.

What is especially important to note is: based on the situation in previous years, the questions are generally relatively easy, but you must not forget about them at this time. If a subject question is difficult, we should not panic, but should think calmly, become familiar with it, and think about whether we can resolve the so-called new question into a few familiar small questions, or transform it into a familiar question. type. In short, we should remember a famous saying: "I make things easy for others, but I am not careless; I make things difficult for others, but I am not afraid of difficulties."

5. One slow and one fast, slow and quick

One slow and one fast means that you should review the questions slowly and carefully, and do the questions quickly. The question itself is a source of information on problem-solving methods and techniques. In particular, the multiple-choice questions in each paper contain many stipulations for answering the question, such as: choose a completely correct one or a wrong one, Whether to choose one item or two, etc., we must patiently read them thoroughly when reading the questions and clarify the requirements, otherwise it will be useless work. Most of the high school entrance examination papers are easy. When it is easy for everyone, it depends on who is more careful. The most important thing about being careful is to be slow and careful when reviewing the questions. Of course, the same should be true for questions other than multiple-choice questions.

It should be noted that the review requirements for liberal arts and science papers are different.

Generally speaking, the conditions that appear in solving science questions must be fully used and sufficient, and there must be no redundant conditions. However, in liberal arts, such as papers, some conditions and information that appear in some questions may not be fully used. We need to pass Review the topic and make choices. Some information is useful and some information is useless.

The review of non-choice questions in science should be done in "three reviews"

The first review - review before solving the problem (this is the prerequisite for solving the problem)

The second review - review when you encounter difficulties in the process of solving the problem (see what conditions are not used, what conditions are hidden behind the conditions, etc.)

The third review - the end of the problem solving It is necessary to review at all times to prevent the answer from being wrong. In the step of reviewing the question, do not be afraid of being "slow".

When you find the ideas and methods to solve the problem, you should answer the questions quickly. To achieve this, we can start from two aspects. First, the writing speed should be fast, not slow. 2. The written content should be concise and to the point, without being sloppy or repetitive. Just write down the scoring points as much as possible. In the jargon of marking, just "hit the points".

6. Score in sections, every point must be fought for

For the same question, different people have different understandings. Some people understand deeply and solve more problems, and some people understand it shallowly. Solved less. In order to distinguish this situation, the examination papers are graded the same way, using the method of "pointing by segments", that is, the points are given as much as the knowledge reflected on the paper is reflected. The popular understanding is that it is a question. Even if we have not solved the result and only solved it halfway, we can still get some points. You can even get some points as long as you write a formula or reaction equation used to answer the question. Regarding the scoring method of "scores by segments", our strategy is "score by segments".

This "segmented score" is divided into two situations

For questions that can be solved. If the questions are correct but not complete, points will be deducted. Correct but not complete means that the idea of ??solving the problem is correct and the final conclusion is correct, but important steps are missed in the process of answering the question, which is commonly known as "step skipping". Since the scoring is divided into sections, the section you skipped will not be scored. Therefore, our answering process should be standardized and important steps should not be missed. This is section scoring.

For questions that you cannot solve, there are two situations here. One is a big question divided into several small questions, and the other is a big question with only one question. For the former, our strategy is to "skip the answer". If the first question cannot be answered, we will use the first question as a known condition to answer the second question. As long as the answer is correct, the second question will be the same. Score. For the latter, our strategy is to "solve the problem without steps". We can calculate to the extent we can without forcing a conclusion. For example, for chemical calculation questions, if I don’t know how to formulate equations, I can get one or two points just by writing the chemical reaction equation required to solve the problem. For geometric proof questions, I can get a few points just by correcting an auxiliary line. This is called "If you can't eat a piece of fruit, it's good to take a bite of it." In addition, there is a "revolutionary speculation" method. Generally speaking, we are opposed to opportunism, and we are even more opposed to stupid things such as illegal speculation, but "reasonable speculation" and "revolutionary speculation" are still acceptable. For example, if you want to prove y=ax2+bx+c, you can prove it in the first two steps, but you can't prove it in the third step. Just "speculate" and directly write the conclusion "So y=ax2+bx+c". This will not only prove the first step , the second step is scored, and the conclusion step is also scored. Even if the grader is careless, he will get full points.

7. Based on one success, pay attention to the review process

During the process of answering questions, try to be based on one success and make no mistakes. But a hundred secrets are inevitable. According to the examination situation in the past few sessions, there is still plenty of time for each examination. We must not submit papers in a hurry, but should review them patiently.

The time to solve the problem is relatively tight, so we should focus on getting it right the first time. The ambiguous and unsolved questions should be checked and answered at the end, especially the fill-in-the-blank questions and multiple-choice questions should not be left blank.

In short, the exam is a comprehensive examination of factors and non-factors. I wish the students good results. ;
