concentrate and be clear-headed, it seems your body is hell-bent on
tripping you up.
Why PLACE Test Anxiety Is A Sign Of Danger?
Your PLACE exam anxiety you feel is just the natural, biological
'fight or flight' mechanism built right into the human mind. Just like a
prehistoric hunter, you sense 'danger ahead' and that causes your brain and
your body to react.
You release adrenaline, the hormone that causes all those
physiological reactions, from cold sweats to headaches and nausea. So the
important thing to keep in mind is that your stress is built right in.
What matters is not that you feel stress, but how you react to
it.
That
means your very first stress-busting tactic needs to be picking the right,
up-to-date PLACE test prep materials when you begin
studying.Make sure you
choose study materials that are updated continuously. That way,
you'll be working with real-time PLACE exam information, not yesterday's
news.
The second
step sounds like a no-brainer until you realize that it's where most
people go wrong. -- Use your stress to psych yourself up, not to destroy
your confidence. Allow your PLACE exam worries be a 'danger-signal' that
prods you to get your butt in gear, stop procrastinating and study!
The final step is to put your game face on. Sports psychologists know that one huge part of success on the field is believing you'll have success. Picture
taking your exam and cutting through the questions like a hot knife through butter. Visualize opening your mail and seeing that
passing PLACE test score!
