Symptoms of exam stress According to Professor Turnbull, a neurologist, more than 25% of America teenagers feel stressed at least once a day. And nothing gets students down than exams. Nearly 90% of teenagers suffer from stress at least once. “They come down with migraines, and many have problems eating and sleeping.” 2. Extra stress Fear of failing exams is understandable. However, pressure from parents and teachers adds to the stress. “My parents expect me to be good at everything – academic subject, sport, and music! It’s ridiculous,” says Macy, 16, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 3. Prepare your environment “You should make a revision plan that is realistic and that gives you enough time to study,” recommends Prof Turnbull. “Students should eat healthy meals – oily fish and green vegetables contain chemicals that help you memory. The revision environment is important. Student ought to find a quiet place to revise. They mustn’t leave things on their desk that can distract them, such as a cell phone. And they should see their friends just a few times a week – and if possible, no testing and no emails. 4. How to revise “Make a list before you start revising each day. Study the most difficult things early in the day, when your memory is fresher. After you have finished revising, check the list – and then rest. Exam stress wears off when you read a magazine, listen to music, or do sports.” 5. On the big day “If you start to feel nervous, breathe deeply for a minute. Then skim all the exam questions. Read all the instruction carefully. How many questions do you have to answer? Are there any sections that you don’t have to answer? Be prepared – then you won’t get any nasty surprises halfway through the exam.” 6. When it is all over “Well done! You’ve done the best you could. Don’t look at the questions with your friends, as this can make you worry more. Concentrate on your next exam. But take a rest first. Answers 1. According to Professor Turnbull, ………………………………..…….

Research has shown that students, especially those in high school and university, can learn as much, or more, from classmates as they do from instructors and textbooks. When students work effectively in a supportive group, experience can be a very powerful way to improve achievement and satisfaction with learning experience. The list below describes important activities that a learning team can work together. Sharing Class Notes. Get together with other students immediately after class to share and compare notes. One of your teammates may have understood something you missed or vice versa. Doing research. Studies show that many students are unfamiliar with doing research, particularly using the library. Forming research teams is an effective way to prepare for class presentation of school social studies such as history, geography, literature, and economics. Working in groups, you could locate and share information to improve your own work. Reviewing Test Results. After receiving test results, members of a learning team can review their individual tests together to identify their mistakes, and to find out any “ modal” answers that earned good grades. You can use this information to improve your performance on later tests or assignments. B. Not all leaning teams, however, are equally successful. Sometimes teamwork is ineffective because people do not know how to form a good team. The following suggestions are strategies for maximizing the performance of teamwork. Seeking Right Teammates. In forming team, look for classmates who are attentive, active in class, and cooperative while working in groups. Forming Teams with Both Genders. Membership should include both boy and girl students of different personalities. Such diversity will bring different life experience and different styles of thinking and learning strategies to your team. However, choose only friends or teammates with shared interests and lifestyles. Keeping Your Group Size Small. A small group allows for more face-to -face interaction and it is also much easier for you to get together outside of class. In short, teamwork is one of the most valued activities in schools and today’s work world.
