Do you get nervous before exams? Why? And If so, what helped you with it?

[melanieeeB]

Personally I don't really get stressed before an exam, probably cause I already did so many of them. .. as long as I pass, everything is good and if I fail, I will just do it again

But with exams where I had to be verbal and got a bunch of questions thrown at me, I'm definitely nervous haha
cause I'm not good at verbally explaining the stuff I learned for that topic but I just always walked in head first and hoped for the best... unless it was an English speaking exam, that one I did with flying colors lol

I have my physics board coming up next month and I am TERRIFIED. The material isn't necessarily hard, mostly just memorization but there's just soooo much.

It's ultrasound physics so not a whole lot of math but you have to know how the sound beams interact with the body and when there are errors, how to correct them. You have to know all about Doppler... It's just a lot. 😭

I don't know that I get nervous before exams. It is more I'm excited and motivated to do well. It is kind of like if on a basketball team and playing a very good, I would want our team to win so I would be motivated to practice and play my best.

Thanks for the MH.

Stress and anxiety go hand to hand so just stop stressing about it and chill out and go in telling your self you can do it with our having that doubt try and creep up and trust your gut with questions

[NathanDavis]

I never did...

to me they were always very straight forward, lol.. exactly the same I had seen before, lol

I love exams, I usually get 100% on them or at least 80% and at my school a perfect A is an 85% cause very few people get above 85% in a class since my school was number 1 in Canada in 80% of the years in which universities were ranked.

[Sour-rose]

I did... but then i didn't because i just stopped caring. If i fail, well i have a higher goal anyways. If I pass, cool, i can learn more.

I used to be terribly nervous, its normal to feel like this

. As in ways to help with it, you just have to think I'm going to do my best and if it goes well great.. if it doesn't well think at least I tried my best..

[WhitneySnow]

Yes. I stay calm and think good thoughts and just try and focus on the exam.

[Alltheflowers84]

Nah. Usually I feel prepared and mentally ready. I try to go in ready to come out with the grade I want.

[Fireguy17]

I have test anxiety, but I always do well.
I'm my own worst enemy.

do 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear etc etc.
and trace over one of your hands with your forefinger it focuses you on something else.
also eat tic tacs cause they’re small so won’t make you sick but distract you
hope that helps

I would get stressed before the exam and then sweat out the whole week waiting to see how I did.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I used to get nervous in school before taking a test

[clampfan101]

Yes because I’m a perfectionist, and nothing helped.

[clampfan101]

I still passed, but the point is I was nervous.

When I was in college I did cards and out each lecture on it I flip them 3 times a day at exama I ace most of them

[Wrdah]

I used to be in high school but now in university I don't I know I'll do my best

[Msputiton]

I used to back in ms. But not anymore

[Becky316]

I did, that's why I studied like hell for them

[Wise4myage]

Only if I didn’t study.

[TallAnon]

Depends how confident I am at the subject.
