Some of you might have been shocked at one time or another during the semester, when you received results for your assignments that werent as high as youd
14、expected. I trust that youve spoken to your lecturers and tutors and sorted out those issues. The truth is that the transition from school to university can be a difficult one.

16、s or performed well-below expectations. Likewise, weve known students that have to all intents and purposes done very little work and passed with flying colours. Often these results can be put down to one thing-stress or a lack of it. Dont underestimate the importance that stress plays in exam perfo
17、rmance. With any exam, you should front up feeling confident, relaxed and organized. Rightly or wrongly, exams in effect, not only test your academic ability, they test your frame of mind and your ability to perform under pressure. Stress has to be managed on two fronts-the physiological and the psy
18、chological. We all recognise that stress affects us physically-Im sure youve all experienced an increased pulse, or sweaty hands or underarms, or shortness of breath when placed in a stressful situation. Sleeplessness can also be a problem around exam time. The most effective way to manage these phy

For an exam you need to think rationally and t
20、his is why you need to be confident and organized before walking into the exam. Continuing to think rationally after you read an exam paper which you know nothing about is very hard to do.

21、-control you need to think rationally. Stress can make you panic-the worst thing you can do in an exam. Look at the question calmly and rationally dissect the question. And lets face it, even if you havent prepared well enough, youll still need to think rationally in order to do your best under thos

Dont rely on what other students tell you about the time they allocate to study. The reports we have had over the years have been rid

Only after you have done this can you allocate your own time to each question. If I had a dollar for every time a student has told me
26、that they didnt do as well in an exam as theyd hoped, because theyd run out of time Id be rich! If you can manage your time properly in an exam, you will reduce the amount of pressure that youre under. Anyway, note the different questions and their marks and allocate your time accordingly-as I said.
27、 Then, answer the questions that you know first. This serves to relax you further and gives you the confidence you might need to tackle the more difficult questions. However, dont spend too much time on the easy questions either-always be mindful of the time restraint and the marks that are assigned
28、 to the question. In summary, to do well in an exam, you not only need the academic ability-you need to be in a relaxed state of mind with the ability to think clearly enough under pressure, to allocate suitable time frames to questions.
