Cool under pressure
6 of 10
Very few students enjoy
taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success.
Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the works world own
explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines,
speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous
chemicals.
The best way to curtail
pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be
Prepared” holds true first time and every time.
In fact, it will be
your chance to shine, to reveal the hard
work you have to put into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are
prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you not lose your cool.
