The Effects of Exam Anxiety or Fear
on Students
Most of
the people think the exam anxiety effects students negatively. But I think the
leck of anxiety is also a problem. A writer of a Turkish newspaper said on this
issue *‘ It is the dose that separates the drug from poison. Appropriate dosage
of anxiety is useful.’ I think this is so logical because if we do not feel any
anxiety or excitement, we might not be give lots of importance to this issue.
However, for the work on something seriously, we should feel something
exciting. But it does not mean the more anxiety increases, the more success
gets higher. As we said in earlier; the amount of concern should be at
appropriate levels. The proper levels help us to concentrate on the lesson or
something else ( the think that we work on) and our succes gets higher thanks
to it but if this amount is too much, it will effects us bad. Because too much
anxiety prevents to ability of concentrate and do the right thinks or making
good choice on something.
So, how do
we observe that a student has anxiety disorder?
Usually
these bad things can be easily observed: Dizziness, vigilance, increased blood
pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea, diarrhea, chest pain,
sweating etc.. Most students have anxiety disorder due to lack of
self-confidence and fear of failure.
How can ve overcome such concerns?
First of
all , we must think the importance of the thing that we work on. It can be an
exam or an important meeting or something else. We should get ready fort he all
posibilities because in our life we do not live just good things, We can live
some bad things an if we can get ready for these, both psychological and
physical we can overcome such things. After we have made all the preparations
for the situation (that we work on) we should believe that we will be
successfull because which signals we send to our brain, our brain will try to
accomplish this. Therefore, we should
send positive signals to our brain and then try to be succesfull on it.
In this process, we can get tired or feel bored but these are temporary things.
The reality is being successful. If we do all things that we have to do and
believe in ourselves, all the things will be good.
When I was
at highschool, I experienced the anxiety of exam very much. It effected me a
little bit bad but still I'm very glad to be at this point right now. I hope
this post will help you to overcome this concern but if you are still having
problems, maybe you can get help from a psychologist. The most important thing
in the world is being strong except to lose goodness and mercy. All of things
are belong us and I hope we all become successful and compassionate people in
this life.
I want to
share a video about this toic I hope you watch and it will help you J
