【大紀元2018年01月25日訊】我們知道考試是會讓人緊張的，下面這些小貼士是教你怎樣對付壓力的。
We know exams can be stressful so here are some quick tips on dealing with stress.
時間管理 Time Management
如果你的時間管理恰當，考試的壓力是可以輕鬆應對的。一个好的经验法则是你應該至少在兩週前把所有學習的內容都複習一遍，剩下的時間就把以前的作業或考試都複習一遍。如果是小的期中考試，或許可以減少到一周。這樣就不會有太大壓力了。
When you have the right time management everything will become easier to deal with and things won’t pile up last minute. As a good rule of thumb, you should aim to have studied all the content 2 weeks before the exam at the latest and spend the rest of the time doing past papers and practice questions. For smaller mid-term exams you can shorten this to 1 week if need be. It will reduce overall stress and anxiety for exams.
深呼吸 Deep Breaths
當你感覺緊張時，一個有幫助的動作是深呼吸，長長的深呼吸會讓你放緩呼吸和減低耗氧量。喝水也可以幫助你減慢呼吸。
The main thing for calming down when you feel anxious or overwhelmed is to slow down your breathing. You should do long shallow breaths if you feel overwhelmed as it will slow down your breathing and reduce the excess oxygen. Drinking water will also aid in slowing your breathing down.
有規律的運動 Regular Exercise
適當的運動對頭腦正常運作和健腦是重要的。研究表明學習得更好和攝取信息跟經常和適當的運動有直接關係。每天至少做30分鐘運動。
Exercising is important for proper brain functionality and wellbeing. Research has shown a direct correlation between studying better and retaining information along with regular and proper excise. Aim for 30 minutes at least a day.
考試後避免談論考的如何 Avoid Exam Post Mortems
每次考完試就和朋友一起抱怨自己考得如何不好。不要再這樣做！沉浸於失敗的表現或記著上一次考試應該的表現的如何都可能影響你將來的表現。最好是集中精力應對未來的考試，應該知道上一次考試已經完成，你不可能通過抱怨或過多的討論來改變它的結果。
Ever finish an exam and complain about how bad you did with a group of friends. You should avoid doing this as much as you can, lamenting on your poor performance or supposed performance in a previous exam may impact your future performance. Just concentrate on the exams ahead and realise that the previous one is done and you can’t change it by complaining or excessively discussing it.
注意自己的狀態 Become Self Aware
你應該注意到自己感到壓力了。這是正常的。你越早注意到自己有壓力，你越能夠及早用這裡給出的辦法來克服它。
You should try to become aware when you are overwhelmed and getting stresses. It’s okay and the sooner you identify it, the sooner you can try some of the other stuff on the list to help you overcome it.
