I have an exam in less than 3 hours, I think I'll probably do fine on it but I feel like I'm gonna blank as soon as I reach the exam, any tips for dealing with this?
>>34511938Go to a park NOWNO phoneNO music Just sit and look at the sky and watch the birds and people
>>34511938Heroin
practice exams and de-sensitize yourself on the processit's like riding a bike, you don't need to have a mental checklist just to get going
>>34511938It is now 4 hours later. How did you do?
>>34511938Pop a Xanax or two before you go.
take multiple mock tests that perfectly replicate the exam conditions in the days or weeks leading up. beyond that the #1 way to quell exam anxiety is to get better at the material the exam covers lol.
>>34512513At the very least an 80, someone who took the final exam earlier in the week who's kinda retarded got an 87, so I should be fine, on the midterm I got a 100/100
I always could far out perform my knowledge on tests by being intelligent. For anything language based you can cross reference words you know and find common roots and almost always figure out what shit means if you have the brain power. For math stuff there are a million ways to use the given answers to deduce things even if you don't know how to solve the question without using the given answers as hints. Also there obvious test maker biases at play and you start to get a feel for these if you are smart and have been taking tests for long enough. Being this way has been kind of a curse though. Thinking of yourself as highly intelligent is counter productive in a lot of ways and feeling like working hard at learning is beneath you is so bad.
>>34511938How I always studied for exams was like this:Any formulas you need to know, any concepts, first learn the concepts thoroughly, then write them down as abbreviated as possible. Then just go over each abbreviation reciting them again and again. Do it the night before and morning of exam. Also drink a lot of coffee the morning of the exam. I was able to cram some extremely hard topics this way after slacking off
>>34512769A lot of my issue was overstudying if that makes sense? Like I did well on the midterm, I just thought there was 100 vocab words not 50
>>34511938When I was in school, I would recopy my notes after class. While I was copying my notes, I would make a exam exam by putting down questions related to the notes that I feel like could be on the exam. Take that mock exam a day or two before your exam day .
