Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English exami?nations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test-taking skills. These abili?ties really have nothing'to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.

Here are some very important—and often ignored―guidelines to taking a test successfully.

Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question raay only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sur| you know the answers can make us more relaxed and confident. 

Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more dif?ficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.

Usually a strong first impulse (冲动)means we know the answer and we don't really have to think about it too much, Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful !

If you don't know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of be?ing correct!

Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don't help yourself in the long run.

Finding a job is difficult. But what might be even more uhtoward is fig?uring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job. Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.

Be friendly to people. Any job is better when you are friends of the peo?ple that you are working with. You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting. Actually listen to what these people tell you. Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.

Stay positive. One of the things that make it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity. If you automatically(无意识地)make judgements about things at the office that you aren't going to like,then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude. Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.

Keep relaxed. Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately. You are going to make some mistakes;you are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things dif?ferently from what they're used to. Be relaxed. The thing that you really need to get used to a new job is just time.

Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy* but it doesn't have to be particularly difficult either. Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying atten?tion to what is going on around you and accepting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all! After you have adjusted to your new job* the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.
