BEFORE THE EXAM
Since there is no such thing as not thinking about the exam, suggestions such as "stop worrying, don't get excited" made by some experts cannot be said to be realistic. Instead, you can resort to perceptual games on your own.
Remove the word exam from both your language and your mental perception. Instead of the word “exam” place the word “game”. You can use the phrase "I will make a great game, I am a good player." in your speeches and thoughts.
Whatever you do in the trial exams, you will do the same when that day comes. Condition your subconscious that you will not do anything different from your previous attempts when it is game time (!) .
Take some of your practice exams in noisy environments. Even turn on a distracting TV channel or music and learn to become desensitized to these sounds by focusing on the test you are solving.
(Students who are affected by sound have thus developed their attention muscles. (They will be)
Determine the number of correct answers and your answers that you can do under normal conditions from each lesson and hang it in the study room and make a fiction as if the exam results have been published and your truths match the truths here. Repeat this fiction out loud every day.
(When you show your subconscious the right target, it will take care of the details)
See the building, classroom and desk where you will take the exam and take multiple photographs. Hang these photos in your room. Take a selfie while sitting in line. Thus, you will begin to perceive these places as if they were places you always go in and out of, and when you enter that environment, you will feel like you already know the place very well. This will make the exam pass more easily.
Going to sleep in a good mood will ensure that your night's sleep is productive and that you wake up in the same good mood in the morning. It will be very beneficial for you to sleep by listening to a specially prepared audio recording as if you were listening to a lullaby.
Doing what you will do for the exam only on the morning of the exam; Since you are not used to this order beforehand, it may have a negative effect. Since you will spend time practicing until the morning of the exam, consider the preparations we recommend every day. It would be better to start doing it as soon as possible.
ONE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM
Turn off the phone one day before the exam. Someone calling and wishing you success may trigger your anxiety. Forward the phone if you want. Someone from your family will happily agree to be your secretary that day.
Going to bed earlier than you are used to may disrupt your rhythm. Therefore, make it a habit to go to bed at a reasonable hour a week before the exam. (Maybe between 22.00-23.00.)
EXAM MORNING
As soon as you wake up in the morning, drink a teaspoon of honey mixed with a glass of warm water and eat a green apple with its peels. Consume it.
Walking in the morning provides the brain with oxygen and physical fitness. Even if you don't have such a habit, at least get into the habit of taking a 40-minute brisk walk in the morning until the exam. Walking habit accelerates your blood circulation and allows your nerves to work more efficiently. Then you can take a shower and have breakfast.
After breakfast, spend 20-30 minutes solving questions about the classes you will take that day. Your mind will perceive the questions you have solved as warm-up exercises before sports and will prepare itself, and it will adapt more easily when the exam begins. (Do not immediately check the answers to the questions you have solved at this stage, this is just something we do to warm up)

DURING THE EXAM

Every 20 minutes. Put down pen and paper and take the “Sufi breath” once a minute. This will only take 30 seconds, will balance your stress and allow you to solve the remaining questions with more intense attention. To do this, leave your hands loosely on your knees, facing upwards. Bring your waist and head upright. Keep your jaw open by touching the tip of your tongue to your upper palate. Close your eyes and imagine a candle burning in the dark. Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it in your lungs for 4 seconds, and exhale slowly, as if you were blowing out a candle, for 8 seconds. If you apply Sufi breathing while solving a trial exam, you can discover how useful it is.
Excessive attention and fast comprehension-reading work will cause your eyes and mind to get tired. In addition to Sufi breathing, doing movements that exercise your eye muscles will reduce your eye fatigue. See the tip of your nose with both eyes, hold it for 3 seconds, release it and repeat this 5 times. You can do this every 30-40 minutes.
