TIPS #
IN THE EXAMINATION HALL
•Try to think positive and maintain positive
attitude giving the test.
• Once in the hall, take time to settle down
and set your table.
• Ignore symptoms of anxiety and focus on
your task.
• Do not hurry into reading the question
paper.
• Read the directions slowly and carefully. If
there are any doubts clarify with the
instructor, teacher or invigilator.
• Feel comfortable before you start your
answers.
• Budget the time and plan the answers.
Allocate time for each question.
• Do the simple questions first to help you
build up your confidence for the harder
questions.
• Choose the best known questions if choices
are available.
• If you do not know a question, move on to
the next after leaving some space; try
it later. If not sure of an answer, do not spend
long time thinking and recalling
answers. Go to the next question. Handle the
less known questions later.
• Leave space after each answer so that you
can add later if you need to.
• Do not worry about supplementary sheets
that others are taking.
• Try and revise your answers finally. Try to
finish a little earlier. Then go through
the paper to correct mistakes/ underline
important points etc. Highlight important
points – underline, write in capital etc.
• If you are feeling stressed during a test, try
relaxation techniques , such as :
• Take in a deep breath, and then take it out.
Try to release the
tension with each breath you exhale.
• Tighten up your hand or feet muscles for 5
seconds and then
release the tension to keep you relaxed.
Repeat this couple of
times.
• Visualize a peaceful and relaxing setting to
feel light and
relaxed.
