This is the most effective way to learn

Chapter 47 Knowing how to take exams is also a skill (4)
Sometimes, some students come down from the examination room and complain that the amount of questions is too large to finish.Some students are very fast when doing the questions, and they think they are doing well, but the results are not ideal.A common problem in the exams of these students is that they did not grasp the speed of the questions well.After the test papers are sent out, you should browse the test papers first to grasp the difficulty level of the test papers, and then arrange the speed of doing the questions reasonably to complete the answers with quality and quantity.Only in this way can we be orderly in the examination room and finally become a strong person in the examination room.

Wang Xiaozou is the English class representative of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School, and her English is always among the best in the class.During the exam, how did she grasp the speed?Many students want to ask her for advice.To this end, the head teacher held a learning experience exchange meeting and asked her to introduce her own learning methods.

"To grasp the speed of doing the questions, it depends on the usual practice." She said, "Many students usually practice just doing the questions, and the work is over when they get the answers right. But this is far from enough. It is necessary to have a sense of urgency from time to time. , Set a time for yourself, only in this way can you be sure of your speed during the exam."

"Then how do you allocate time for different types of questions during the exam?" Liu Mingming asked.

"First of all, let's talk about vocabulary questions. This is a sub-question. Here, everyone can't lose too much points, and don't take up too much time during the exam. Try to save time for reading. Vocabulary starts with high-frequency words and real questions over the years. Because the recurrence rate of vocabulary questions is very high, you also need to practice your reaction speed. In short, if you can save time here, you can save it.”

"Every time I take an exam, I spend more time on composition. How do you handle it?" Liu Ran asked.

"Composition should be practiced at least one month before the exam. It is a good way to start practicing with a writing template. Memorizing model essays is also fine, but the key is to make the model essay your own. You must do it yourself, write or copy. But now many books The model essays on the website are all written by professional teachers after continuous scrutiny. It is difficult for us to write such a beautiful model essay in the examination room. Therefore, we must rewrite the model essay and change it into our own. The focus is on its structure and bright sentences. Before the exam, you must write or copy at least 5 compositions, so that you will feel it when you arrive in the exam room, and your writing will be more fluent. In this way, you won’t spend much time on the composition during the exam, and the effect of doing the questions is also very good.”

Wang Tao asked: "Many people write the answers on the test paper first, and then spend 5 or 6 minutes to fill in the answer sheets. This is a common practice. What do you think?"

Wang Xiaozou said: "I think this method is not very good, and it may also have a certain impact on time and psychology. In the end, I didn't have enough time to read and see, and I didn't fill in the answer sheet, so I panicked. I chose blindly without even reading it. My suggestion is to do the questions and write cards directly, including listening."

The experience exchange meeting was held in full swing. Through the exchange, the students found out the problems in their own studies. Many students said that they must strengthen training in the future, grasp the speed of doing the questions, and be the masters of the examination room.

It is very important to grasp the speed of doing the questions in the exam, so as not to waste every minute, and not to rush to do the questions, so as to ensure the quality.This requires students to lay a solid foundation in their usual study, and ensure that basic topics are completed in a short time without wasting too much time.At the same time, through a lot of training, grasp the rhythm of the questions in the exam.After the test papers are sent out, don't rush to do the questions, but take a look at the overall situation and browse the test papers.Have a comprehensive understanding of its question volume, difficulty, and test question types.Only by doing this well enough in mind can we be able to do a job with ease in the process of doing the questions and ensure the success of the exam.

Don't be scared during the exam
Exam stage fright is a relatively common phenomenon, which may appear in any occasion where there is an exam, and it is more common among primary and middle school students.Stage fright is a transient psychological disorder, which is caused by excessive emotional tension due to various reasons.It is manifested that the materials and skilled movements that have been memorized can not be recalled, reproduced or repeated.In severe cases, dizziness (commonly known as field dizziness), dizziness, heart palpitations, and nausea may also occur, resulting in failure in the exam.Only by getting rid of stage fright and gaining confidence, can you show your true level in the examination room and win the exam.

Ouyang Bobo is a student of a key middle school. He usually has good grades, but when he goes to the examination room and sees the test paper, his mind goes blank.Not to mention difficult problems, I don't know how to start with simple questions.Seeing that the college entrance examination is about to begin, his mother, Sister Zhang, is very worried. What if this happens again during the college entrance examination?
The distraught mother took him to find Mr. Wang, a psychology teacher at the Youth Development Center.After everyone sat down, Teacher Wang said: "Stage fright is actually caused by excessive tension. Children's excessive tension is caused by excessive pressure. Sometimes the pressure comes from parents. Parents hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. The expectations are very high, and Turn expectations into words and actions, and constantly put pressure on children: "You must do well in the exam. If you pass the exam, you will be rewarded." It’s all over.’ ‘If you don’t do well in the exam, I’ll come back and settle the score with you’ These words and deeds will become tangible and intangible pressure, concentrated in the child’s mind.”

"Yes, yes!" Sister Zhang said, "I told his father all these words before. I didn't expect that these strict requirements increased his psychological pressure and caused his stage fright."

"Of course, stage fright is not caused by this reason." Teacher Wang said, "Students are under a lot of pressure now, from school and society. If a child can correctly understand these pressures, self-regulate, and turn pressure into motivation, the exam room will If you don’t mess up your grades, then not only will it not affect your grades, but you may do better in the exam. The problem is that some children are very heavy-hearted, and they pile up these "stones" one by one in their heads, and they put pressure on themselves. The expectations are also high, but they lack the strong will to control the highly tense emotions. When it comes to the exam, the dominant excitement center becomes a serious source of interference, and of course the exam will fail.”

"What can I do to make my child not have stage fright in the exam?" Sister Zhang asked.

"It is very important to do a good job of decompression. Parents should not put too much mental pressure on their children. Don't blindly set too high targets for their children, and do whatever they can. When the exam is approaching, especially don't keep your mouth shut every day. Talk about the test verbally, because the more you talk, the more signals your child will get nervous about the test.

"Secondly, guide children to take the exam correctly and help them reduce their own pressure. The child's level is objective, as long as he carefully reviews and prepares for the test, he can test his actual level. Some children are always worried about making mistakes. , I was nervous when I entered the examination room, and once I saw a familiar topic, my nervousness intensified, leading to a series of mistakes."

These opinions are aimed at the parents. After talking about it, Teacher Wang said to Ouyang Bobo:
"If you are nervous during the exam, you can use the methods of 'diverting attention' and 'self-suggestion' to relieve your tension. Diverting attention is to temporarily force yourself to focus on things other than the exam to ease the tension. For example , when you are too nervous, listen carefully to the teacher's instructions on the exam precautions, observe the teacher's clothing, expression, think about the most interesting things for a while, etc., will calm yourself down. Self-suggestion is to remind yourself in your heart : I am very calm, how steady my breathing is, and my mind is very clear... This repeated reminder also helps to relieve tension.”

"In addition, you must clarify the procedures and requirements for your answer sheet in advance, and do it step by step. The basic procedures and requirements are: 1. Write your name neatly, and sometimes write your student number and exam admission number. 2. Focus on the topic, check the meaning of the question, and answer each question one by one. Nervous children often have no time to read all the questions, so it is easy to increase the number of questions due to seeing an unfamiliar question. Tension. When encountering a question that you can’t answer, think carefully about it. If you don’t think it through, put it down temporarily. Don’t take up too much time, so as not to delay the time for other questions you can do. Finish the questions you can do After that, go back and do the difficult problems. 3. Check carefully to avoid missing mistakes. Spend more time on big questions and difficult problems. Less time, just read the common questions once, and read more key questions. Check both sides, so there are no missing questions.”

After returning from Teacher Wang, Ouyang Bobo felt much more relaxed.He has confidence, and he believes that he will be able to eliminate stage fright in the college entrance examination room and get excellent results.

The physiological reason for stage fright is that a dominant excitation center appears in the cerebral cortex due to high emotional tension, and this dominant excitation center inhibits other parts of the cerebral cortex due to the law of avoidance of induction. Simply put, it is the tension in the brain. The excitement center suppresses other places that should be excited.Therefore, the key to solving the problem of stage fright is to eliminate the interfering dominant excitation center.

A child's hypertension is caused by excessive stress, both external and internal.

1.The pressure comes from parents.

Parents hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, and their expectations are very high, and they turn their expectations into words and actions, and constantly put pressure on their children: "You must pass the exam, and you will be rewarded if you pass the exam." "If you fail the exam, you will be worthless. "The hope of your parents is all on you. If you fail the exam, it will be over." "If you fail the exam, I will settle the score with you when you come back"...and focus on protection in action, preparing nutrition, brain tonic, high-end drinks... These words and deeds become tangible and invisible pressure, concentrated in the child's mind.

2.The pressure comes from school.

Some schools and teachers use mobilization, grade queuing and even countdown methods to encourage students to study hard and improve their grades.For students who are facing entrance examinations, a two-pronged approach is used, creating a tense atmosphere.This is very stressful for students.

3.Pressure comes from society.

Due to the increasingly fierce competition in the society, various examinations have become a hot topic among people.When relatives and friends see their children, they often ask: "How did you do in school and how many points did you get in the exam?" And they often encourage a few words, "Study hard, and you will be admitted to university in the future and become an expert." Little do they know that these words of concern will become important to the child. psychological pressure.

If a child can correctly understand these pressures, self-control, turn pressure into motivation, and stay in the exam room, then not only will it not affect the grades, but it is possible to do better in the exam.

If a child has poor grades and lacks confidence, he will be indifferent to these pressures.No matter what anyone says, I will do my own way, and the exam will not see improvement.

The problem is that some children have a heavy heart, and they pile up these "stones" one by one in their heads, and they put pressure on themselves, and their self-expectations are also high, but they lack the strong will to control the highly tense emotions.When it comes time to take the exam, the dominant excitement center becomes a serious source of interference, so of course the exam will fail.

How can I keep my child from taking the exam without stage fright?
First of all, we must start with the parents and do a good job of reducing stress.On the one hand, parents should not put too much mental pressure on their children at ordinary times, and do not blindly set too high targets for their children, and do whatever they can if they fail to meet them.When the exam is approaching, especially don't talk about the exam every day, because the more you talk, the more signals that will stimulate your child's nervousness during the exam.On the other hand, it is not advisable to make too many material preparations and specific services for children before and during the exam, such as buying a lot of nutritional products and providing thoughtful services like protecting giant pandas. These practices will increase the pressure on children.It is possible to improve the diet appropriately, but not too much.

Secondly, guide children to treat exams correctly and help children reduce their own pressure.The child's level is objective, as long as he carefully reviews and prepares for the exam, he can test his actual level.Children sometimes do not know enough about their own level, have high self-expectations, and even have a fluke mentality.Some children are always worried about making mistakes. In this way, they will feel nervous when they enter the examination room. Once they see familiar questions, their nervousness will intensify, leading to a series of mistakes.Parents should let their children treat the exam correctly while putting less pressure on their children.The exam is to test the level of learning, tell the children not to set too high targets for themselves, it is normal to encounter unfamiliar topics in the exam, and it is possible for every student.Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and hard work is a good boy.

Third, guide children to use the methods of "diverting attention" and "self-suggestion" in the examination room to relieve their tension.To divert attention is to temporarily force yourself to focus on things other than the exam to ease the tension.For example, when you are too nervous, listen carefully to the teacher's notes on the exam, observe the teacher's clothing and expression, think about the most interesting things for a while, etc., will calm yourself down.Auto-suggestion is to remind yourself in your heart: I am very calm, how steady my breathing is, and my mind is very clear... This repeated reminder also helps to relieve tension.

Fourth, guide the children to clarify the procedures and requirements for their answer sheets in advance, and do it step by step.The basic procedures and requirements are:
(1) Write down the name neatly (sometimes write the student number, the admission ticket number), and write one stroke at a time, which will help you calm down;

(2) Focus on the questions, check the meaning of the questions, and answer each question in order.Nervous children should not read all the questions first, as it is easy to increase their nervousness when they see an unfamiliar question.When encountering a question that you can’t answer, think about it seriously. If you don’t think it through, put it down temporarily. Don’t take up too much time, so as not to delay the time for other questions you can do.After finishing the questions that you can do, go back and do the difficult problems.

(3) Check carefully to avoid mistakes.Spend more time on big questions and difficult problems.There is less time, just read the common topics once, and look at the key topics more.In particular, check both the front and back of the paper to avoid missing questions.

Let the children stick to this basic procedure and requirements in the usual small tests and stage tests, and form a habit, and the relatively large tests will naturally follow the procedures.

Fifth, instruct children to prepare the prepared utensils before the exam and put them in a safer place.Some children found out temporarily because the equipment was not fully prepared, which increased their tension.

In addition, letting children participate in some recreational and sports activities before the exam to relax their body and mind is very good for preventing stage fright.

You can also drink some traditional Chinese medicines such as banlangen, Qingre Granules, chrysanthemum tea, etc. before and during the exam to keep your mind clear.

If your child has severe test stage fright, it is recommended to see a psychiatrist. ? ? ?
When doing the questions, you must carefully examine the questions and pay attention to the details

After leaving the examination room, there are always many candidates who feel regretful. The reasons are due to careless review of questions, improper time arrangement, or careless omissions.In addition to making intellectual, spiritual, and physical preparations before the exam, you must also make material and technical preparations, paying attention to every small detail.

Check carefully before the test, and prepare cultural items for the test, such as handkerchiefs, glasses, toilet paper, related medicines, appropriate amount of cash, etc., especially don't forget to bring the test admission ticket.These items can be put in a bag, checked before each departure, and never leave the bag halfway, so as not to let small things miss big things.The so-called technical preparation means that you can go to the test area for an on-the-spot inspection before the test. You must know where to ride, how long it will take, and where the rest, drinking places and toilets are in the test area. Check the bike before the test.In addition, try not to take a nap if there is no one at home at noon during the exam. If you encounter an emergency on the road, you can ask the police for help.

Zhou Tao is a careful student. Every time he takes an exam, he can carefully review the questions, and then answer according to the requirements of the questions and the characteristics of different question types.

When the test papers were handed out, he first carefully read the test papers and the instructions of the test questions to figure out the requirements and methods of answering the questions.For example: whether the multiple choice question is single choice or double choice.According to the characteristics of different test questions, he uses the elimination method and the direct method for multiple-choice questions.Multiple-choice questions have strict requirements, and each alternative answer must be carefully judged when solving the questions.

For the topic, he also has to look at the reasons for the scoring.Take the multiple-choice questions as an example, especially the multiple-choice questions with two options. It is necessary to see whether all the questions are correct before scoring or half of the points are awarded if only one item is correct.When encountering multiple-choice questions that do not deduct points, you can boldly guess when you are not sure. When guessing, you should use the elimination method to eliminate some options, and use logical reasoning or intuition to guess the remaining options. Don’t be afraid to choose.However, if you encounter a question that deducts points, you must avoid unsure guessing.

Third, he has to look at where the test questions require to write the answers.If answering on the machine-readable answer sheet, after selecting the options on the question sheet, use a pencil to blacken the corresponding information points on the answer sheet.Some students have to paint substandardly when they paint black, and sometimes they paint and change.These details have never happened to Zhou Tao.

When it comes to details, Zhou Tao also pays attention to grasping the time.General multiple-choice questions generally take 1 minute for 1 point, 2 minutes for 2 points, and 3 minutes for 3 points.He told himself not to dwell on individual problems for too long.For questions that he was not sure of at once, he would choose an answer that he thought was reasonable, and write down the location of the question on the straw paper. After the entire paper was answered, he would go back and think carefully.

Some students like to write wherever they think of it, and write it again if they make a mistake.But Zhou Tao is not like this, he always thinks well before writing.The answers are simple and clear, and the scoring points are clear.
