How To Keep Calm During Tests
- Know the time and place of the test and what you need to bring. Be on time, neither too early nor too late, with blue books or supplies. Don't rush.
- Don’t talk about the test with classmates immediately beforehand, especially if you know this sort of thing raises your anxiety level.
- Read over the test and plan your approach. Ascertain point values per part, time limits for each section, which question you'll start with to boost your confidence, etc.
- Don't hesitate to ask for clarification from the professor, teaching assistant, or proctor if you have questions about instructions, procedure, etc.
- Be clear about your job. A test is a thinking task, and your job during an exam is to think as clearly as possible based on what you currently know. Focus on your job (the thinking process) and practice letting go of what you don’t control (the grading). Approach the test determined to think to the best of your ability, but also accept the limits of what you currently know as a beginner.
- Reduce anxiety with activity. If you go blank and can't think of anything to write, go on to another question or another part of the test. On an essay question, jot down anything you can recall on scratch paper to stimulate your memory and get your mind working.
-
Relax yourself physically during the test, especially if you notice that you are not thinking well or your muscles are tight. Pause, put your test down, and take several slow, deep breaths. Tense and release your muscles. Do this in particular if you notice that you are worrying excessively about one problem, not reading carefully, and unable to recall information you know.

PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK in our parking lot or on Silver Avenue or Cambridge Street. Double parking your vehicle narrows the streets and makes it a lot more dangerous not only for other cars but for pedestrians as well. Please pull into a space if one is available. Though you may think you are saving time by having your student run out to your car, you are not saving that much time and YOU ARE PUTTING AT RISK your own child and the safety of others around you. Please let us be considerate to each other and our neighbors for safety's sake.
If you allow your child to walk home or to the bus stop, please tell them to go as a group or at the minimum in pairs. In the past, we have had students accosted by other people walking down the street. The strangers will approach them in broad daylight on a busy street such as Cambridge. Optimally, if they could stay at school until a parent can pick them up, it would be the best, but if it is not possible, please warn your children to exercise extreme caution when you give permission for them to leave on their own. |
