...teSTUDENTS CAN REDUCE EXAM STRESS When studying for exams students are normally under a lot of pressure and commonly confonted with exam stress. Exam period is extremly stressful for many students and some of them are so stressed that they undeperfom, but this doesn't occur because the lack of their abilities but because they have to cope with high level of exam stress. They are under a pressure of possible failure, or unsuccess which results in underperformance. CAUSES OF EXAM STRESS Exam stress is result of many causes, student emotions combined with their thought and several other factors can create high levels of exam stress. Thre of the most common factors are Competition, Negative Thinking and Low Self Confidence. Competition This is important factor that can result in exam stress because during that period there is more competition amongst students. This might be because the results of exam will play important rule in acceptance for higher levels of education. Higher exam results can also ensure prolonging or getting new scholarship and other potential consequences of failing exam or achieving lower scores than other students can create exam stress. Negative Thinking Be positive and avoid negative thinking.nNegative taughts that occur during exams are important factor that causes exam stress. You shouldn't think how difficult is the exam, how long is the study literature , how hard it is to acquire all the neccessary knowledge or how failure will result in...

... Just because you are not leaning over and peaking at somebody else's exam does not mean that you are not cheating. Cheating includes any dishonest action used by a student to complete an assignment without actually having to complete it themselves. Some of the most common forms of cheating are looking at someone else's exam, using materials without permission, collaborating with other students without permission, and not reporting another student if you see that he or she is cheating. Students cheat for all types of reasons: pressure to succeed, no time to study, peer pressure, laziness, and the list goes on. While schools claim that a student can be expelled for cheating, many cheating students escape the consequences. I do not think that it's possible to set consequences based on the reason why a person cheated because the severity of a reason can be relative, but it's more logical to base consequences on the method in which the cheating was done. Perhaps the most classic form of cheating on an exam is taking a quick peek at the exam of the person sitting next to you or in front of you. Oftentimes it's easy to see answers in the corner of your eye and the teacher seldom notices. I believe that this type of cheating should result in automatic failure of the exam, no questions asked. Likewise, if the student tries to cheat again then he or she should fail the whole course. Looking at someone else's exam is extremely unfair because you're putting forth no effort to complete...

...When you hear the word exams, you usually get to be anxious about them, and about the possibility of passing or failing them. For me, exams are not a thing to be scared of. I know that some exams are very important in life but I don’t see a tragedy in failing them. You will always have a second chance to make things better as long as you will fight and learn more. I think that exams are not accurate measure of a person’s ability. Many people can get scared and they could panic and fail exams, not because they don’t have the necessary information to pass them, just because of the fact that they get very nervous, and usually they can’t concentrate enough. I understand them, because a few years ago it was a problem for me too. After a lot of exercises I managed to overcome my fears, and now I am very accustomed to exams. As a start point, we can say that people are different and it is a known fact that being different has its bonuses, but it also defines us and the way we can be and are appreciated. Therefore, an individual cannot necessarily be compared with another one because our minds and our talents don’t function in the same way. Exams test students for the same abilities ,in the same way. This can affect the grade or the overall measure of the ability tested. It is true that people have different talents, that people manifest themselves in various ways and domains. For example, an artist can choose to paint a picture of a beautiful landscape...

...already. The creators incorporate too many regulations, which cause inefficiency and counter-productiveness. Improvement is based on standardized tests that cannot measure intelligence wholly. Treating children as if they learn at the same rate does not help all students use their critical thinking skills. The act aims to close the achievement gap and allows for “no child to be left behind”, but it is not simply a one size fits all ordeal. Everyone has different experiences of learning at their fullest potential. America is failing with this provision and it will greatly affect the future of the country. Every state is directly involved with the make-up of the test; in which case some states make their exams significantly easier. The NCLB founders are advocates for transporting children who reach qualifying test exams to different schools with hopes of better teachers. Students that are better test takers get the opportunity to have free transportation to non-failing schools, but they are not supporting their local communities. Legislation is overbearing in their influence with this act and it affects the amount of resources spent on limited subjects and uncertain promises of better education. This act is underfunded and cannot accommodate to higher level education requirements. Does the country want their students to be well rounded or skilled in test taking? The real world calls for someone to be successful in all aspects in life. The NCLB states that all students must be at the...

...enrolling in an hour-long traffic safety education class. It is the prerequisite to the written exam and can be taken at any regional examination office. An instructor that incorporates instructional videos as part of his lecture teaches this course. The only thing an applicant would need to this class is a valid ID as this class is free of charge. Step two in the process is a health check. The health check is a physical examination of the body to see if the applicant is fit to drive. It can be taken in health-check rooms at any regional examination office. The check up is normally 5,000 KRW; however, the price varies for each office. With the health check out of the way, the applicant can proceed to step three: applying for the written exam. To apply for the exam, he/she would need to prepare three 3cm x 4cm portraits of themselves, bring a valid ID, and fill out the application form. The processing fee is 6,000 KRW. The fourth step is a very crucial step; one must pass the written exam. The exam is comprised of 40 multiple choice, fill-in the black, and subjective answer questions. It goes over the driver’s knowledge to the operation of a vehicle and traffic laws. To pass, the applicant must score 70 points or higher for a Level 1 Regular license or 60 points or higher for a Level 2 Regular license. If the applicant fails the written exam, he/she must reapply for the exam...

...College is like being in the middle of the jungle with only a basic box of tools and a lower knowledge of the habitat. College is unlike high school in many ways. The new student does not feel confident of what is going to happen next. She or he is limited to a new environment that is displayed before her or he, also the student remains unsure about how to act and react toward these new experiences. The ex high school students are now adults but they feel like they have yet to become one. The only thing they can do is to feel the fear of getting lost among the buildings and classes, the panic of being devoured by a predator that is the teacher. The thought of not being able to survive through the next exam is stressful. The freshmen remember their high school, the past years they have gone in the same place. Students have memorized the entire area and they know how get from one point to another, but in college with the big buildings and with many rooms, it is easy to find themselves lost between one building and another. Some buildings are connected and some are not, but scholars need to find a way to move among classes. The confusing layouts of the classes make getting lost or arriving to the classes late very easy to do. The new students need to use the map for have guide their own, or sometimes they go with the counselor or advisor for have a better idea of how to move between the college. On occasion the student gets so lost that she or he will enter the wrong class. Sometimes...

...Running head: FINAL EXAM Final Exam HRM 326 Final Exam Contents of Interest The legal aspects of training have been an area of particular interest. The most interesting aspect was company liability. One common ground for not adhering to legal requirements such as OSHA, EEO, and Sexual Harassment was the likelihood of the company entering in the courtroom. When organizations fail to meet legal requirements they can be held accountable or partially responsible for any injury or illness that an employee, customer, or person within the organization at the time of the event may have suffered. Failure to meet legal requirements place organizations at greater risks for ruined reputations, loss in financial resources, high turnovers, low productivity, and so forth. Some of the information was reinforced such as Equity with EEO and Affirmative Action as well as OSHA and Sexual Harassment. Other areas such as the extent to which a company can be held liable for failure to meet legal requirements in the various areas is new information. In Sexual Harassment a special note was made to the liability a company may face for failure to identify, respond, or cease sexual harassment cases before they become too severe to correct. Ignoring the cases does not give the organization the benefit of a doubt but makes them completely...

America used to be an educated country; now we just base our opinions on what we get from social media, and the people around us. In this piece, I’m going to look at why some people think the American Education System is failing, and why some people think it’s not. What does it mean to fail? A bad grade in one of your classes? Falling behind, and not being able to catch up? Here, we’re going to look at the problem surrounding the failing American Education System. In an article from Foreign Affairs magazine, it’s stated...

...Passing Exams Although there are many different ways college students prepare and take exams studying, memorizing, note taking, may seem critical but in all it’s not rocket science. The method that makes the student more comfortable should be used. It also depends on the kind of learner you are. They the kind of test that you are taking also has a factor. Making time everyday should be done to prepare for an exam. The use of flash cards could also be helpful when studying. Taking good notes and having some organization in your notes could be effective. Swapping notes with a fellow classmate could also be beneficial to you. Reading your text book and key chapters are also helpful. Procrastination is one of the ways not be successful in preparing and passing an exam. The lack of motivation and commitment can lead to failure of exams. The fear of taking test could also lead to failure. The lack of maturity of first-year college students could be crucial when preparing for exams. If you are not careful of using your time wisely that could also lead to failure, you need to have good time management. There are differences when it comes to preparing for an exam. One student can prepare by studying the material and reviewing notes and doing everything it takes to get ready for the exam and more than likely getting a good grade on the exam. Another student could not prepare for the exam and by not giving any effort on studying for the exam and more than likely failing the exam test...
