Your the one the controls to choose to learn or not. No one can learn for you or do all the work. You have to try your own best and do what's right.

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time and every time.

Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have out into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·        Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·        If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.

·        Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·        Presentations counts’ look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·        Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·        Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·        What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·        Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·        What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·        Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·        Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
