Excitement before an exam is a normal reaction of the body. Here, rather, you need to look at how a person manifests himself in a situation of excitement, whether he can remain “alive” in a situation of anxiety, fears, or excitement paralyzes him. Here you need to ask yourself the question - what scares me so much when I go to exam? The teacher can be frightened by his reactions. Some people cite the unknown as a cause of anxiety. Or maybe the answer is a dozen unlearned tickets? What to do when anxiety overwhelms and prevents you from concentrating? There is such a thing as attention. And we are what our attention is directed to. If a person only thinks about how scared he is to enter the office and take a ticket, then he himself becomes fear, and now his name is Fear. Try to move the vector of your attention to the things that surround you when you are in the corridor waiting for your turn to enter and take a ticket, or when you are already taking a ticket, or when you sit down in front of the teacher. Return from the Fear that is inside you to a specific room with a specific teacher. Ground yourself in the place where you find yourself. Look at what is around you and mentally, silently name what you see. For example, the teacher has a blue shirt, his eyes are brown, his eyebrows are wide, his hair is grey, the board is green, the table is brown, etc. Just name what you see without judging or speculating. Thus, you will return from the world of your emotions, which are not assistants in the exam, to the world of facts that you need to present to the teacher. Do not forbid yourself your emotions, worries and fears. Agree with them that now you need to pass the exam, and then you will give them due attention :) What else can help calm a “heated” mind? Breathe. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. After exhalation, hold your breath. It is calming and relaxing. Thoughts will no longer overtake one another and you will tune in to the answer on your ticket. And you will succeed!
