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)

What you are experiencing is common and known as test anxiety. Some people experience anxiety to the level that their fight or flight response kicks in, and they begin to answer test questions in panic mode. There is medication for learning disorders and general anxiety that help alot of people. You can also try some relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, stretching, or exercising before the test. Check your thought processes for negative self-talk, such as "I know I will fail. Replace these with a positive affirmation/ mantra such as "I'm going to win" or "I know this stuff." YOU CAN DO IT!!!

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!

most of the time test anxiety arises from being unprepared. If u study enough days prior to the test...u should be able to go over some important facts and review the night before

This is a habit that will be important throughout life.  People often like to worry about things that they have no control over. You need to learn to put those worries aside. The time to be concerned about your success on exams is PAST.  Any worrying you do now is only unnecessary pain.  Why would you continue to torture yourself.  This should be your time to enjoy.  You won't have another time like this to relax.  As soon as you discover your results, you will suddenly be focused on preparing to go to university, and will have little time for enjoyment.  Right now, you should relax and focus on other things.  Make yourself a note on the calendar for the day when you should expect results.  Until that day, don't even think about it.\n\nI recommend doing volunteer work.  Sometimes, if you focus on the needs of others, it puts your own worries in perspective.\n\nBest of luck to you on your future education.

heehe, i just finished studying. first of all get off the pc, and turn any electornics off.  .get in your room and organise yourself. if you have a lot of time ahead of you take a small nap(10 minuts max) grab a bite, and then plant you butt on the ground/chair/bed/table whereever you like to study. and focus on you studies. you are going to study wether you like it or not. if you have a clock that tickes a lot put it away, and don't let anything disurbe you. ake sure to turn on your answering machine, and turn off ur cell-phone. and good luck on ur exam, if you want wake up at dawn and revise what you studied, but don't revise before the exam in half an hour.

That is actually a nervous habit, I used to do that as well.  The best thing I'd do is find out what's stressing you out so bad.

hi, what I used to due was go to a quite place like a church or a place outside were their is very little noise, or noise at all. I would sit very still and breathe in and out very slowly.. Do the breathing for about ten seconds. Next think of only what you need to know for the test. Go over it in your mind, and relax. To me silence is golden it is a time when mind and body come together

The three 'R's - Rest, Relax and Reason.\n\nYou really need to rest and take sleep when you can - the demands of being a medical student go above and beyond the average Joe and you need to be on tip top form.\nRelax to take your mind away from your workload - this doesn't mean going out and getting yourself drunk and partied every night, but blow off some steam - exercise - hit out at a few punch bags and breathe in some lavender oils to wind down.\nReason with yourself - Is it worth worrying about? Is it worth affecting your health for? What would be the consequences if you didn't do something? Would life still go on regardless? Are there alternative routes you can try? Can you ask for delays from your tutors? Can you get help from them, or anyone else?\n\nMost of this is common sense, but when you get stressed, tired and depressed, sense goes out the window.\n\nMost of all - remember to breathe.\n\nTake Care

Constant worry only leads to additional stress and anxiety.  Pray about what ever it is that has you worried and hand it over to a higher power.  You must have faith and trust in the process because without it your worries will only continue grow and fester.\n\nAlso it helps to distract the mind by doing some other activity.

well, I think that you think too much on something or you got stress......I suggest you to rest your mind for a couple of days and released your pressure by doing some activities or see someone that were really good handling this case and ask for some proffesional advice,ok!
