How to cope with test anxiety for the second subject exam tomorrow?

Hello, question asker!

I'm Si Meng'er, and I'm here to tell you that you've got this! I know you're feeling a little anxious about the second driving test, but I'm here to tell you that you're going to nail it!

Before the exam, you already think about how embarrassing it would be to fail. But here's the thing: if you can think about failing, you can also think about how happy you will be if you pass! You have had good practice sessions before, which shows that you still have some skill.

What if you think you'll be thrilled when you pass the exam? But what if you also think about what happens if you don't pass? If you don't pass, you might feel a little ashamed, which seems to some people to be a very simple matter. And if you don't pass, you may seem a little silly.

Then the answer is obvious: stupid = ashamed. But these three words are different, so why are they equal?

So, is it because being stupid means being inferior to others in some areas that it is shameful? Well, if that's the case, then everyone is ashamed! After all, no one is the best at everything, and there are always many areas in which they are inferior to others. Someone who drives well may be inferior to others at cooking, someone who cooks well may be inferior to others in terms of eloquence, someone who is eloquent may be inferior to others in terms of manual dexterity, someone who is good at manual dexterity may be inferior to others in terms of communication skills, and so on! So, do you all feel ashamed?

Absolutely not! Similarly, someone who is a better driver than you may be worse at other things. Do people who are better drivers feel ashamed because they are worse at other things?

I'd say it's probably not!

So, in that case, stupid ≠ shame. And what you call equal is just what you think! You think that if you are not as good as others in some aspects, you are stupid, and being stupid is very shameful.

So, here's the big question: If you were the only one taking the exam on the day of the exam, would you feel stupid if you failed? Not really! Because, even if you got 70 points, it would still be a high score if you compared it to a lower score, or a high score if you compared it to 60 points, or a low score if you compared it to 80 points.

There's no such thing as a high or low score for yourself. And there's no such thing as being stupid! It's not about getting a certain score. It's about comparison. Even if you get 50 points, if you compare yourself with someone who gets 30, you'll still get a high score and not be considered stupid.

Fortunately, there are two simple solutions to this problem. The first is to compare yourself with someone who is worse at something. This can be a surprising approach, but it works! Before, you might have automatically compared yourself with someone who is better at something than you are, and this would make you feel inadequate. But if you compare yourself with someone who is not as good as you, you will feel better about yourself.

The second is to stop comparing yourself to others. This is a challenge because many people have become used to comparing themselves to others. They love to see who is doing better and prove that they are good by doing things well. But here's the thing. Do you really need to prove that you are good? Of course not! You are already good. For example, do the top singers and actors in the industry need to compare themselves to prove that they are good?

You've never seen it before. And those who are average at work always seem to want to achieve something to prove themselves. Of course there is nothing wrong with pursuing good results, but the problem is that only results can prove that you are good. There will always be times when you don't do well or when you don't do well at first, but that's okay! Those times are just opportunities to learn and grow.

Your character determines whether you are good or not. It has nothing to do with what achievements you have made, unless you force them to be connected. If you force them to be connected, then you can connect anything! You will feel bad even if it is cloudy today, and you will feel miserable even if a flower has withered. So try to give up proving that you are better than others, and give up connecting unrelated things.

Hello! How are you doing?

You've already finished your second test, right? Well done! No matter what the result is, how about rewarding yourself for all the time you've spent practicing? Have an ice cream to cool off.

I was also feeling pretty nervous when I was practicing for the second part of the exam last year. During practice, the instructor said that he had actually never taught me anything, and that I had learned how to park sideways by watching videos. It's so common for instructors to feel like that (even though they take our money!), which is different from the teachers at our school, who are all so kind and patient.

So, there's no need to feel sorry for the instructor. It's their job to help us get our license. Many people have a license but can't drive, which is a shame.

I know it can be tough, but I'm here to support you! I failed the second part of the test twice, but I'm confident about driving. A friend of mine got his license and started driving six months ago, but the other day I rode with him and realized that he didn't even know how to turn the car on. The second part of the test takes longer to practice for than the third part, but once you pass the second part, you can pass the third part in two or three days. Just practice more. If you really can't get it right, ask someone who knows how to help.

You've got 10 days to take the test again, so take your time and practice slowly during this period.

It's like when your neighbour gets into Tsinghua University or someone in your neighbourhood makes millions a year and says it's as easy as pie. It's a bit of PUA-style rhetoric. The coach says this because it costs nothing to say it, and you can pass it all at once. Then there would be no such thing as taking the exam five times.

Many driving schools are afraid of trouble if their students fail the exam (after all, some driving schools will charge an additional fee if the student fails). So they keep saying that it's very simple, and pass the buck. Many students are office workers, and time is of the essence. Failing the exam is really annoying for them. They are tired from work, and they have to find time to practice driving, and they have to pay for it... So, don't take the instructor's words to heart if they say that. If the instructor says that again, just say, "I really can't do it. If you can teach me right away, then I really believe it's very simple.

Coach, I know it's that simple, so please hurry up and teach me the trick!

While you're out driving, you can also try to practice your mindset. It's so important to enjoy the process of driving! Just imagine how free you feel when you're driving. It's such a cool feeling to be in control of your phone, your computer, and a car!

Take your time, and I wish you the very best of luck in the exam!

You don't owe anyone an apology. We can all feel good about doing our best!

Hello, question owner. I'm not sure if your exam is over yet, but I wanted to check in about exam anxiety.

I understand your anxiety and worry very well. First of all, you're learning to drive, so it's not stable. Sometimes you're very good, sometimes you're very bad. You're learning to drive an automatic car. The root cause of your anxiety is the fear of being embarrassed. You're afraid of disappointing the instructor, but you're really afraid of disappointing yourself for your efforts.

I need to know how to deal with exam anxiety. While a little anxiety can remind us to pay attention to our mistakes, too much anxiety is counterproductive.

If you can't eliminate your anxiety completely, then you can at least breathe, relax your body, and relax your mind. Don't let yourself be in a constant state of high anxiety and tension.

Second, you said you would blank out. Don't worry about this either. I've been there, and I can tell you that the coach criticized me during practice, and I blanked out during the exam. I slipped when setting the ski on the uphill slope. But even though our minds were blank, our bodies had actually formed muscle memory, and our instincts prompted us to continue. In the end, although my mind was blank, I heard the voice saying, "You have passed the exam. Please return to the exam center to print your transcript."

It's normal for the question owner to be anxious about the exam. Everyone else is just pretending to be calm, so don't worry about it. Just do your own thing, don't overthink it, let things take their course. It's okay if you don't pass. Allow yourself to make mistakes. The shame you think you'll feel is just in your head. Everyone's focus is on themselves.

That's all I have to say. I wish the original poster the best of luck and success! At Yi Xinli, the world and I love you ???

Hello, question owner! First, I'll give you a big, warm hug!

Once you've aced the college entrance exam, it's time to take the driver's license test! Driver's licenses are a rite of passage for many of us, as more and more people are getting behind the wheel and taking the test. But what many don't realize is that driving is a skill, and it takes a little practice to get the hang of it. The challenge of reversing the car is the same for both manual and automatic transmissions.

An automatic transmission is great because you don't need to shift gears with the clutch. It doesn't mean that you can reverse automatically, but it's still pretty cool!

The questioner mentioned that he is particularly anxious about successfully reversing the car 12 times, and now his mind is blank and he has no idea how to reverse. Right now, all I can think about is that I always feel like I'm going to fail the test and it's going to be really embarrassing. But I know that I can do this!

Because I have an automatic transmission, they all say it's especially easy. I just feel like I'll let the instructor down if I fail. But I know I can do it!

Embrace your anxiety! It's the worry and fear of something that has not yet happened.

The questioner just needs to adjust their state of mind and think about how they did it the one time they succeeded. Then, they can review the process in their mind over and over again, believing that they can work hard to pass. The exam should be taken twice, so the questioner needs to remain relaxed and find a way to reverse the car, driving slowly and steadily.

This is a challenging task for our emotional endurance, but you can do it! Think about what getting a driver's license means to you. Complete the exam with feelings of tension and anxiety, and see what you get!

I hope the questioner can look at the problem objectively. Getting a driver's license is your own choice, and it's an amazing opportunity to gain independence and experience! Success or failure is just a stepping stone to the next adventure.
