Sleepless nights of cramming over books and notes, as a rule, precede any exam. However, it is natural to feel a bit worried and stressed. For any student who wants to feel more confident during exams the following guidelines may be very useful.
Necessary preparation for an exam
It is generally known that for successful exam passing one should be mentally prepared. It is very important to feel confident and relaxed before and during the exam. To prepare psychologically for the exam one should stick to the following procedure:
1.It is of crucial importance to know the structure of the exam. When one knows what he/she is expected to do, then it is much easier to perform.
2.Moreover, it is wise to study and revise the material step by step. The major mistake of many students is that they leave preparation for the last night before the exam.
3.It is also necessary to use exam questions as a guide for preparation. Specifying the topic is beneficial in all respects. Allocate some limited amount of time to each question. If something is too tough, leave it and get back later.
4.If a student should make a speech, it is strongly advised to train it in front of the mirror. In this way, one can see the expression of his/her face. So, a student gets the overall expression of his/her abilities to speak in public.
5.And the last but not the least, do not freak out. Do not hang out with friends the night before the exam. Have some sleep and rest. And in the morning drink some mint tea to calm down.

Be calm and confident;
Wear appropriate clothes;
