PROBLEMS
Alice: Yesterday, at the beginning of the chemistry exam, I spent more time on a difficult question than I intended. When I saw the others turning to the next page, I became so nervous that I couldn't even work out simple questions. I really want to know how to control myself in exams. Could you give me some advice?
Rob: I'm trying to review for my exams, but it's hard to concentrate for long. I sit on the bed with my books, but then I lie down and fall asleep. And my parents ask me to do things or my friends call, so I give up studying. I'm starting to panic. What should I do?
Lara: I get good marks at school, so my friends all want to copy my homework. But I spend a lot of time working while they're having fun. It's not fair, and I'm getting fed up with this situation. But how do I tell them they can't copy my work—I don't want to lose my friends. Help!
ADVICE
Concentrate on the exam. Don't daydream or be distracted by the other test takers. Some students do exams quickly, but this doesn't necessarily mean they get all questions right. Just stick to your own pace!
If you can not focus on your review,you can make a daily plan to remind yourself or why not develop a good learning habit?
Cheating is not good for studying. Having a heart to heart talk with friends who wants to copy may be useful.
