How do students get over the fear of exams before sitting them?

i dont think a lot of them do. use that fear and that adrenaline rush to your advantage. if you calm yourself by not rushing immediately into an exam then some of the fear goes and your body is usually quite pumped up with all the adrenaline that you can focus on the question.\nso, if its possible to reduce the fear its by slowing yourself down and taking your time.

yeah... but don't worry you'll get over it... once you've entered the situation and know there's no going back... but it's important to remember to relax and if you're prepared (this is what I say about exams) there's nothing you can do, except stay focused and try hardand whatever mistakes happened are unintentional, you can't control if they happen (because you've tried your hardest) and you can't do anything about them once they've happened. \n\nDon't worry - be yourself... and you'll be gr8. If he loves you, so will they!

Whatever you do, don't stay up all night before the exams. Make sure you get enough sleep. Focus on the things that you do not know but are not too complicated to learn before the exams, and learn those. Try to learn everything, even if you do not feel sure about it. Some tips for studying:\n-invite a friend over and quiz each other.\n-Use flashcards- they never fail.\n-Have somebody (parent, sibling...) quiz you while you exercise.\n-Make (or ask someone else to make) a small quiz for each subject, and take it until you get all of the answers right. If you are feeling nice, make copies and give them to your friends to help them study.

it may be easier said than done but the 1st thing is do not panic, take some deep breaths and use visualisation, imagine being in  a clalm quiet place that you know, then let out all the anxieties out whilst you take deep breaths.  then as you inhale think calming thoughts etc. focus on the test when you get in as the questions wil not look as dificult. read each question 3 times before jumping in, write clearly and precisley.  \n\ntreat each question dffernenly try not to get too distracted by idle thoughts or the next test. good luck

Honestly there is no easy fix for this. You just have to put yourself in a situation where you have to talk. If you are really that uncomfortable with it and you are in school consider taking the dreaded speech class. It will force you to get up and talk in front of people. The best way to get over a fear like this is to tackle it. Hope that this helps and I wish you luck!

The more prepared you are for a test, the less fear you will have.  Study daily, take notes in class, write flash cards, read over your notes RIGHT after class because you forget so much during the first 24 hours of studying what you learned.

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

It's all in time management.  It's exam time, and that means it's time to get down to business.  All the usual time consuming activities (hanging out, lunch with friends, sports, etc.) are now playing second fiddle to your education.  Use the time you usually use for extracurriculars for studying.  You can resume your normal life after exams are done.  \nAs for dealing with the stress, nothing is more effective than preparedness.  Good Luck!

Make a revision plan about 6 months before a major exam and start reviewing one topic at a time from then.\nI feel envious of people who just perform well in exams without much real effort (so they say). The rest of us mortals have to follow the revision plan and cover everything as well as possible  in advance of the big day.

yea - yea. been there done that. \n\nin school my course work was c or less - my related labs were A's. Just could not take tests - the slightest distraction would throw me off. \n\ntry this: visit the classroom beofre the test to get used to the room - close your eyes and imagine your self taking the test and doing weell - think about how you feeel - think possitive thoughts. \n\nduring the test if you stress out - close you eyes and think of my massaging your breasts - just kidding ( jsut wanted to add some humor it helps ) \n\nCLose your eyes and think of white - like a white wall gently rub your eyes while closed to eliminate the stress. \n\nor alt. think about a waterfall - washign away the stress. \n\ngood luck - \nlet me know how your next test goes. I"M WILLING TO WAGER THAT YOU'LL DO GREAT \n\n(Stop a think about the email you will send to me and how excited you are feeling about passing your next test)

take a deep breath and dive in.  answer the questions you know first and then go back over the rest.\n\nfor future reference, studying in the state of mind that you'll be in when taking the test helps (even if its a state of nervousness, believe it or not).  Also, if there's any way of studying in the room that you'll take the test in, this will help you as well.  The familiar surroundings will jog your memory.  If you cant do that, bring along a familiar pencil that you used to study with.  Stupid stuff like this actually works.

The usual response is an audible *GROAN* permeating the classroom regardless of the amount of time allocated to preparation.  The groans seem to be longest in math and shortest in English.  \n\nI'm sure there is a lot of fear associated with some of those who have test-anxiety but just a low-key loathing for others.  \n\nIf there were a non-subjective way for an instructor to effectively and precisely evaluate (the probable reason for the fear) students then I'm sure everyone would be much happier (except for the gifted test-takers).

The night before the exam, study in ten minute bursts, get up and move every ten minutes, the mind can't concentrate correctly longer than that.  check out those last minute areas of the subject you feel unsure of. Cleanse, consecrate and empower your pencil in the morning that you are to use in the exam. Empower a WHITE candle for confidence and clear thinking, Burn it while you study, (in the scientifically approved ten minute bursts fooled by physical movement). Before you fall asleep ask the black swans of dream time to help you sort out the information that you have learned so that you will be clear-headed for the exam. don't go to bed to late, get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast the morning of the test.Empower and drink a cup of spearmint tea before you leave for school.

First of all, Have confidence on urself that whatever u r doing is the best and all the other sitting are fools. U must have confidence for them. Secondly, my tips goes like this--\n 1. whnever there is a word ALWAYS the statement is bound to be false.\n 2. Mostly u gotta pick up the word in it. They r simple if u think so. Only the language is a bit twisted on them. \n3. Don't solve anything new about 2 hours before the exam coz during the exam u should have highest amount of confidence that would surely take to sucess.\n4. If u think that u r stuck on it, leave it and do the rest of the exam and get back to it when time permits. \n5. Start the exam with the best part u like the most.Don't tackle difficult part first. \n6. Last but not the least, Do hardwork and leave rest to Him to dcide.!!

GUESS WHAT....I used to be like that. Until I got to high school & we had to make speaches in frount of the class, well thats was very scarey. But this was part of our assesment in some of our subjects. When that day came that we had to make the speaches I said I didnt want to do it but the teacher made me, when I was up there I was extreamly nervous & forgot what I was going to say. I know exactly how you feel. I suppose you just have to come out of your shell & be more confident.
