Hey, I'm back for my makeup test for Subject 3 for the second time. Every time I enter the driving test center, I somehow nervous, simply can not control themselves. In fact, my driving skills are not a problem, usually practice simulation are stable, but the official test will panic, the result is another failure. I really don't know what to do! If this continues, I'm afraid I'll never pass the test, and the school year is approaching, time is getting tighter and tighter, the more I think about it, the more anxious I am, may I know how to overcome this nervousness?
Hello! Your problem has been experienced by many people, in all kinds of exams, the more worried about nervousness, but the more likely to fail the exam. People with test anxiety tend to reject the feeling of nervousness, always in the heart of the "do not be nervous", but the brain will automatically ignore the word "not", directly focus on "nervous", the results are counterproductive. Psychologists have said that moderate anxiety is normal, it can wake up the body state, to help focus; but excessive tension on the trouble, may be too concerned about the results of the test, for example, afraid of the test is not good sorry for the parents and teachers and other ideas come up, the attention from the test itself run away, subconsciously, but to meet your concerns. Driving test especially need to be fully concentrated, eyes and ears, a nervous easily distracted and fail. Don't worry, try these methods: one is to do relaxation exercises, a week before the test every day to do a few groups of deep breathing and arm movements, so that the body relaxes down; two is to adjust the cognitive, lower expectations, put your mind on the practice and the test process; three is if you still can't improve, then accept the fact that you'll be nervous, let nature take its course, don't be too hard. I wish you good luck in your next exam!
