A lot of people get upset when it's time to take a test. __1 In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good
thing for you.
Here are some tips for taking tests:
● 2 It sounds like a no-brainer(不用动脑的事), but if you're sure of the information, you'll have
less reason to be worried.
● Get enough sleep the night before the test. 3 In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep
before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.[来源:学科网]
● 4 Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it
is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you
have for each part and ask the teacher any questions. If something seems unclear before you start, don't
worry: ask.
● Relax. __5 Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can
wiggle(扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some
calm place.
These tips should help most people, but some can get serious test-taking error. If you're one of them,
you may need to talk to a parent or teacher for help.
B.Be sure you've studied properly.
C.Focus on dealing with each question personally.
D.It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests.
E.Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest.
F.As the teacher hands out the test, be sure you know what's expected of you.
G.If you're so nervous that you can't think of anything, you might need a mini-break.
