First, the performance and causes of test anxiety
When higher vocational students are faced with exam anxiety, there may be emotional instability, great emotional fluctuation and great psychological pressure. Some students have physical symptoms such as insomnia and loss of appetite. Examination causes people's anxiety because of the characteristics of the examination itself, including the difficulty of the examination content, the influence of the examination results and the time limit. This is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. Increased nervousness before the exam: At this time, college students will feel nervous and uncomfortable. Include headache, loss of appetite, insomnia, etc. , are very common symptoms.
2. Self-doubt after the exam: If you hear others' comments after the exam, you will feel that "I definitely didn't do well in the exam and didn't play well".
3. Anxiety about success or failure: Success or failure is very important to college students, so higher vocational students have a "can't bear failure" mentality, fearing that failing the exam will affect their future and work.
Second, how to adjust test anxiety.
1. Seek support: When you are in a state of exam anxiety, you can adjust your mood by communicating with friends or elders around you. In the process of communication, you may get considerate advice and encouragement.
2. Relax: Deep breathing is one of the effective ways to relieve anxiety. You can relax your body and mind by taking a deep breath, relaxing your muscles slowly, listening to music, playing tennis and taking a walk. Find your favorite activities and let yourself spend the preparation period happily and easily.
3. Reasonable planning time: In order to better cope with the exam, make a clear preparation plan. Allocate time, make full use of one's own time, rationally plan trivial matters in daily life, such as eating, resting and entertainment, and cultivate a balance between study and rest.
4. Face up to the experience of failure: When we face difficulties and setbacks, don't repeat the same mistakes, so don't feel helpless to ourselves, but face up to our own failures and see the significance of starting a "backup plan". Through failure, you can accumulate experience, adjust your attitude and thinking, and accumulate enough valuable experience for future success.
In a word, test anxiety is a common problem, and higher vocational students can alleviate their anxiety through positive adjustment methods and get better test scores. Here, I hope more vocational students can get rid of the influence of exam anxiety and cope with the challenge of preparing for exams happily and easily.
