Mrk Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ...because I really can't. :\ I always had this problem and it's getting really annoying now. Basically, during a test, despite I study hard, I start to feel anxious and I always end up to make some stupid mistakes. I tried to win this "fear" but I always failed. So, any suggestions?

sarahwishful Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I would suggest purchasing Calms, its a natural remedy and its calms nerves and people with anxiety. If you feel like you may need some motivational lessons, I have booked myself into this class, I was having issues at college with confidence and felt that I could never talk to new people. I think this wll rerally help me chat more and become a better person. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 1. Poop before the test just in case 2. Skip really hard questions and come back to them 3. Don't be afraid to take a break during the exam just to close your eyes. It's more time-consuming to freak out and get nervous anyway. 4. Suck on a mint or chew gum during the exam (seriously, it works) 5. Make sure you eat before the exam, but don't stuff yourself. Also, make sure you're hydrated. This dictates the way your neurons deal with stress, and your brain will release fewer polar neurotransmitters. 6. Don't do things like start threads about it because it emphasizes the fact that you are very nervous, and make the problem a bigger deal than it is. Don't build yourself up: Because if you really think a lot is on the line, you'll get more nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That's probably a great idea, don't poop for like days running up to the test, eat a lot, then just before it have a massive crap, and you'll be in like relief-ville, or something.

Brent Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Actually that might work. It WILL make you considerably more relaxed. I pooped pretty big before a debate once and I ended up winning nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No, because I am a nerd and I always want to get the highest mark :| Well, maybe you should stop putting so much pressure on yourself. That would help. Maybe. I mean, focus on the test, not what it would represent. And right before the test, listen to Strawberry Swings :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ^Oh. I mentioned Strawberry Swings because I read that it was proven scientifically to be very relaxing....Don't Panic then ? That would fit :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 A rhyme is not a pun, dude. As for your question, a big part of overcoming it is, as Brent said, not making a big deal of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 When you finish the test, don't turn it in, sit down for 5 minutes and clear your mind. Then read over your answers again and you'll see that you notice mistakes that you haven't noticed before. This applies if you have time left over, obviously.
