I have always been a nervous test taker. I study as much as I
can, though I can still feel so unprepared. I get clammy, I forget half the
things I studied and I rush through the exam just to have a feeling of slight
relief.
And though
some people may consider me a thrill junky, taking tests is not exactly what I had
in mind. So I’ve decided to take things at a different direction this time. Obviously
I will still be studying for my tests, I am going to take a break from the
whole college life for a little while. I mean, I’m going to get off campus and
in a more carefree environment to study, where I’m not surrounded by the
constant pressure of school.
You
see, when I’m around school, or in school, it makes me more anxious and
nervous. But with the different approach, I’m going to be staying in my dorm a
lot more, or going off campus to a friend’s house to study. When I’m around a
school environment less, I can step away from the books for a minute and take a
breather without the constant reminder that being in college is a huge deal. I need
to focus on the tests more, and less about the overall outcome of the tests.
As I’ve
said in many previous posts, you need to think of all the possible outcomes of
your actions and decisions, the plan is to focus on that less. My plan for
finals is to strictly focus on studying the information of my exam. Don’t think
about, “what if I fail,” just think about knowing the information and taking
the exam. Relax and test on!!
