Into the latter half of June, this damp and hot period of time implies the coming of the final examinations. The final examinations are aimed at testing what we have learned as well as how well we can make use of our knowledge. Therefore, they are of great help since they offer remarkable rewards to those assiduous, while warning the students being slack.

    However, the tests are perceived by some students to be suffering, which literally makes the tests lose their role to help. Since the final exams are beneficial to us, we naturally shouldn’t have negative attitudes towards them. The boredom brought by negative attitudes may keep us from fully concentrating on our studies, and, as a result, may make the exams tortures and affect our performances during them. So how can we positively confront the final exams? The suggestions are as follows:

    First, face the exams bravely. There must be a great deal of knowledge learned by us and our level of learning has been improved significantly due to our hard work in this semester. Only with confidence and bravery, can we triumph over our weaknesses and improve ourselves. Being in front of the inevitable exams, we have the possibility to win if we possess courage and confidence. On the contrary, without them, we are destined to failures.

Secondly, we must take an objective attitude to the exam. As part of a learning process, final exam has a close relationship with our study. It will honestly reflect our learning situation. Therefore, to a large extent, examination is fair to every one of us. Learning is a cumulative process. Mere two weeks of cramming is not possible to turn a student into one of the top ten in the class. However, with continuous efforts and adequate review, to get a satisfying grade is just natural. Thus, do not pin your hope on luck. Without a certain amount of accumulation, keys to the questions will not occur to you spontaneously. For suggestion, do not set unrealistic goals, prepare for your exam with a positive mind, and display your actual ability during the exam.

    Third, we must take a proper attitude to the exam. Neither think too much of it, nor look down on it. Too much focus on the final exam will make our minds overstrained or immersed in worry, and not able to dedicate ourselves to learning, leading to a vicious cycle. Even after the exam, we may not be able to get rid of the shade of exam by punishing ourselves for our own mistakes. On the contrary, underestimate of the importance of the exam will lead us to an absent-minded, slothful state, which affects not only ourselves but also our classmates by undermining the learning atmosphere.

    Let the courage be with us. Let the objective and proper mind be with us. Face the final exam as an old friend, and let it indicate our true study level. At last, we would like to remind everyone that cheating is never something wise to be committed. Wish each student good results in the final exam!
