Exam Confidence
Most
students would like to identify with at least some of these reactions. A small
amount of anxiety together with confidence in relation to sitting exams is the
key. Research indicates that optimum performance in exams is obtained when
students experience medium or manageable levels of anxiety. Mild levels of
anxiety can improve alertness and provide the burst of energy needed to get
through demanding situations. However, excessive levels of anxiety in relation
to exams can be debilitating; inhibiting concentration and memory and, in its
most severe form, causing panic attacks.
Anxiety can fool you and convince you that you cannot function when you really can. It is important not to give up when you feel anxious! If you persist you will discover that you can perform effectively and you will become increasingly confident. Most people experience some degree of anxiety when faced with an exam. The students who perform better tend to cope with anxiety in more productive ways.
Directly challenge any negative thoughts about exams
If you have any negative thoughts about sitting exams, you can choose to think differently about it. Firstly you need to become conscious of your negative thoughts in relation to exams. These thoughts are sometimes referred to as self-talk.
