Tests can be worrying even for the most prepared students. When some students take tests, their minds don’t work as well as usual. They may experience something called test anxiety (焦虑), which can have a negative influence on their performance. Well, the following tips can help you pass your next test more easily and achieve more success!
Get Enough Sleep
6 hours of sleep or less can slow your mind and thus has negative effects on your performance on tests, even if you spend those missed hours of sleep studying. So, it’s very important for you to get a good night of sleep before your big day.
Study Smarter
How do you study ‘smarter’? Make a list of the things you need to learn in order of importance. That way, if you don’t have enough time, you can still hit the items at the top of the list. Make a list of all the work you have to do, judge how much time each item will take, and compare that with the number of hours you have available; this will tell you whether you can read carefully or just skim, how much time you can spend checking papers, and tell you other ways to pace yourself so you can get everything done. If your time is still limited, it’s important to learn to let go of being perfect.
Visualize (想象) Success
Before you fall asleep each night, it is a great way to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully. Detailed visualizations can help you feel like you’re really experiencing something，and visualizing yourself doing well is a way to ‘practice’ success in a way that can help you perform better and feel confident. Visualizations can also help you to remember the facts.
Stay Calm
Anxiety can harm your memory, so it’s important to stay calm before and during tests. While that’s easier said than done, there are several techniques that can help you calm down quickly whenever you feel nervous. For example, breathing exercise has been shown by research to reduce test anxiety, and can be very effective in helping you relax: just take deep breaths and let the anxiety come out.

【推荐2】We all suffer from stress from to time. At work or at home, there are times when our stress levels get too high. So how are your strategies for dealing with it? We interviewed some psychologists, and asked them for their practical strategies for getting through these difficult periods, and here is the advice they gave.
1. Identify the cause
If you are having problems with tense muscles, overtiredness, headaches or migraines, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship, living situation or something else? Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those that will get better with time and those outside your control.
2. Move your body
Exercise won't cure your stress, but it can help to clear your head and make you feel as if you're gaining some control. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there's nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don't exacerbate the stress by drinking, smoking and downing double espressos.
3. Talk it through
If you are the kind of person who is open to advice, find a friend to have a moan with. Friends can work as a support group, sounding board and–if there is some obvious solution you haven' t considered yet - they may provide you with solutions.
4. Ditch the phone
This doesn't mean put it on "do not disturb" and look at it less:
5. Make a list
Having too much to do may cause you to flail around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting done - but this is a false impression. Make a to-do list.
| A．Everyone knows that is not a proper solution. |
| B．Learn to focus on the first kind; ignore the others. |
| C．Stress can be useful at times, so try to learn to welcome it. |
| D．Imagine yourself lying on a beach, or in some other pleasant, peaceful place. |
| E．These aren't fixes, and they will only make you feel physically and mentally worse. |
| F．Do the big, important things last, after you have achieved several of the small things. |
| G．Sometimes, you can't see the easy way out of a situation when you are standing right in the middle of it. |
