1
No matter how prepared you are for an exam, you can't help but feel some anxiety.
2
You know, like the butterflies in your stomach and potentially forgetting everything.
3
Feeling some anxiety is normal as your body releases adrenaline in times of stress, which actually triggers your fight or flight response.
4
So here are some scientific tips to help you beat that exam anxiety.
5
Exam anxiety is an epidemic among students worldwide.
6
One study found that out of 1,300 people questioned, 96% say that they have experienced exam anxiety at some point in their lives.
7
And this is a problem because another study found that students who were deemed highly anxious performed 12% worse on exams than those who were slightly anxious or not anxious at all.
8
Exam anxiety, like all anxieties, is a spectrum, meaning that there's all sorts of symptoms and varying levels of feelings.
9
Some people may just feel their heart beating a little bit while others are completely debilitated with nausea and vomiting before every exam.
10
Getting at least six hours of sleep is crucial before an exam.
11
Making sure that you are well rested will give you the confidence to face the challenge at hand.
12
Pulling an all-nighter is a huge no-no when it comes to your brain having the ability to succeed.
13
Mitch, did you see Nikki's slaying Miley?
14
Are you going to sleep?
15
I need a solid six hours before my exam!
16
Studies have actually shown that those who have a balanced diet up to one week before an exam actually perform better than those who have a high meat or a high protein diet.
17
I have seriously been studying so much, it's like eat, sleep, glycolysis!
18
Yo, here's your lunch by the way.
19
Aw, thanks.
20
What's glucose?
21
In fact, it's best to have a breakfast that's high in fiber and high in carbohydrates so that the energy is released slowly and your brain doesn't crash mid-exam.
22
Losing energy quickly means losing your concentration, which means you might start to panic when you can't even answer the easy questions.
23
Name.
24
What's my name?
25
Oh god, what's the name?
26
Positive self imagery has been known to boost confidence and lower exam anxiety.
27
but it only works if you set yourself realistic goals.
28
I will get at least an 80% on this exam, I will not fart during the test, and I'll have a banana for lunch.
29
Now we are not telling you to lower your expectations, but it is not mentally healthy to expect 100% on all of your exams.
30
So while feeling confident for an exam is important It's essential that you keep your feet planted on the ground to help de-stress try and picture yourself in a happy moment Whatever that might be and then quickly switch to imagining yourself in the exam room I'm on a boat with whales around me humpbacks fin whales heck There's even a blue whale one comes up to me and lets me pet it then he playfully Splashes me in winks he loves me, and I am one with him also glycine alanine valine and leucine are all non-polar acids and this is how you draw them in an exam.
31
This helps your brain to associate those happy feelings with writing the exam and primes you to be ready.
32
In addition, before the exam, try and picture questions that you have already studied the answers to so that it will boost your confidence going in.
33
Speaking of priming, it's important that you familiarize yourself with the exam room.
34
If the exam room isn't your classroom, make sure you take a short field trip there a few days before.
35
This will also ensure you aren't late.
36
By seeing the setting beforehand, it will help your brain be at ease during the exam, and helping you feel more confident and perform better.
37
While hopefully you have a good circle of friends and study buddies you can work with, there's always that one Debbie Downer in the group that kind of lowers your self-confidence.
38
This, combined with your past experience on exams, which might not have always been good, can lower your self-confidence moving into the exam.
39
A helpful trick is to write down these insecurities on a piece of paper, and then right below them, write down a rebuttal, which makes you feel confident, then crumble up that paper and throw it away.
40
People say I have a bad memory, but I have never forgotten somebody's birthday.
41
This can help you build confidence before a test, and these symbolic gestures are actually effective.
42
One study found that anxious students who wrote down their worries before a test did better than those who didn't.
43
Hopefully these scientific tips will help you go into your exam with confidence, feeling much less anxious.
44
And unlike most trends, science is logical and never ends.
45
Science never goes out of style!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
