Taking a test

Taking a test is one of the most difficult things you can face in your life. You may be nervous, you may not know all the answers, but in the end, the truth is that to complete things is the best way to finish them and be able to succeed searching got new life chapters.

If you leave everything in blank. It is going to be a wrong answer anyway. Don't you think the same?

What are the problems that make us thing the exams are really bad:

1. You are thinking it's bigger that what it really is: most of the time you may think that if you don't pass a test you are going to spend your life on a low earnings job and that my friend is not true at all. Actually, if you pass it you will continue your path to success and if you don't you can still continue your path because you never know. Just let it be since you know it is a test, not a party, but do not let it mess with your happiness.  
2. You're justo too nervous: this can be based on different reasons, but my expirience has shown to main triggers: 

• You did not study or skipped critical lectures: actually, I can remember myself taking really easy exams, but I was there scrapping my head really hard, but the ideas where not comming. Why? Because they where never there. I never studied or for some reasons had skipped "that" lecture I think is the one that was used specifically for the test. 
• Your parents are expecting too much from you: there are times, when your parents, that always want the best for you, are just delivering to much pressure so you can become a good professional and have a great dreamed life. Most of the time they will take away your videogames, tv, mp3s, mobiles, etc. Remember they are just doing it because they trully love you and they want the best for you. 

Some advices to remenber:

1. Exams are just part of the life: from time to time you will need to face exams, test, trials. Do not let them get you down, use them as steps to the success. 
2. If you had to skip classes or lectures, just catch up with your friends help: remember that many times you went to your friend's house to play videogames, you can still go, but for this time you can copy the classes and ask them questions instead of killing zombies or playing mortal kombat. 
3. Try to postpone activities that are not so important and organize priorities: a concert the weekend before the last classes week on the other side of your country/state, a party at the same time you have classes, the new Call of Duty is out. You know all these can actually wait. 
4. Talking to your parents about their level of pressure in you: the other day I learned the importance of talking to your parents and expressing your worries, I discovered they can be our friends and most of the time they really do not know how to express it. It is ok to have a hearth-to-hearth talk with them about what worries you, spetially the pressure they can put in you before tests.
