General exam stress-busting tips
减轻考试压力的一般秘诀
Believe in yourself. You are capable of passing the exam. You wouldn’t have been given a place in the class or on the course if you didn’t have the ability to do it.
相信你自己。你有能力通过考试。如果你没有能力的话，你就不会呆在教室里或课堂上了。
Don’t just worry, take action!If you don’t understand some of your course material, getting stressed out won’t help. Instead, take action by seeing your course tutor or asking your classmates to help you understand the problem.
不要只担心，要采取行动！ 如果你不明白课堂内容，光担心是没有用的。相反，找老师或同学帮忙，你的问题就会很快解决。
Talk to a friend. Talk with someone you trust and who will listen and be supportive is a great way of reducing stress and worry.
与朋友交谈。和一个你信任，并且愿意听你倾诉，支持你的人交谈是一种减轻压力与焦虑的好方法。
Don’t put yourself under too much pressure. Aim to do your best but recognize that if you think that “anything less than A means I’ve failed”, then you are creating unnecessary stress for yourself.
不要给自己施压。只要尽力去做就行。如果你认为没有拿到A 就是失败，那么你是在给自己制造不必要的压力。

Tips for keeping calm during the exam
考试时保持冷静的秘诀
Try to avoid panic. It’s natural to feel some exam nerves prior to starting the exam and that can be a positive and motivating feeling. However, getting excessively nervous is counterproductive as it hinders your ability to think clearly.
尽量避免慌张。考试之前感到紧张是正常的。它是一种积极的能激励人的情绪。然而，过度紧张会适得其反，因为它会打断你清晰的思路。
Breathe deep. The quickest and most effective way of eliminating feelings of stress and panic is to close your eyes and take several long, slow deep breaths. Breathing in this way calms your whole nervous system.
深呼吸。消除压力和慌张最快和最有效的方法是闭起眼睛慢慢地深呼吸几次。这样的呼吸可以使你的整个中枢神经平静下来。
Blankety blank? If your mind goes blank, don’t panic. Instead, focus on slow, deep breathing for about one minute. If you still can’t remember the information then move on to another question and return to this question later.
大脑一片空白？如果你的大脑一片空白，不要慌张。这时，花一分钟时间集中注意力深呼吸。如果这时你仍然无法记起那些东西，先做另一个题目，后面再回过头来做这道题。
Don’t dwell （停留） on past exams. Don’t spend time focusing where you think you went wrong. Congratulate yourself for the things you did right, learn from the bits where you know you could have done better, and then move on.
不纠缠于过去的考试。不要花时间纠缠于那些你认为做错的地方。为那些做对的题目喝彩，从那些你本来可以做得更好的地方吸取教训，然后继续前进。
