考試前注意事項

考前準(zhǔn)備:

一、欲善其事，必先利其器。準(zhǔn)備好考試用品，最好用黑色鋼筆或中性筆，

因為有的試卷不讓用蘭色筆，要是怕黑色筆答題一團(tuán)黑，也可以帶圓珠筆備用，

注意看清楚不懂的問老師，英語考試鉛筆要修好，同時備橡皮?；瘜W(xué)備個不帶記

憶功能的計算器。

二.調(diào)整心態(tài)，沉著應(yīng)考

當(dāng)考生來到考場后，往往會造成考生感到有些緊張。在這種情況下，考生可

進(jìn)行簡單的放松訓(xùn)練，如做幾次深呼吸，然后暗示自己：“我的狀態(tài)不錯，應(yīng)該

取得好成績?！痹诳记皫追昼姂?yīng)該自己安靜獨處，不要再和別人討論知識上的問

題，以免破壞自己胸有成竹的感覺。

1、強(qiáng)化自信

不管你現(xiàn)在是成績拔尖，還是跟別人有一定差距，千萬別忘了每天都帶

著信心起床。不論個人情況怎樣，每人都有自己的優(yōu)勢和不足。有的同學(xué)基礎(chǔ)孔

實根底深，不論考試如何變，都能游刃有余；有的同學(xué)思維靈活敏捷，有一定的

創(chuàng)新思維，理解能力強(qiáng)，對考創(chuàng)新的活題尤為適應(yīng)；有的同學(xué)閱讀面廣，視野開

拓，心理素質(zhì)好，抗挫能力強(qiáng)，善于超水平發(fā)揮。不管怎樣，在高考前夕，對于

自己的缺點和不足不要過多自我責(zé)備，要多看、多想、多憶自己的長處和潛力，

激發(fā)自信心。

每一個有杰出成就的人，在其生活和事業(yè)的旅途中，無不以堅強(qiáng)的自信

為先導(dǎo)。希爾頓是世界酒店大王，現(xiàn)在他的酒店分支機(jī)構(gòu)遍布世界各地，但他起

家時僅有200美金。是什么使他獲得成功呢？希爾頓回答說：只有兩個字，那就

是‘'自信"?？梢姡判脑杏晒?，信心能使你創(chuàng)造奇跡。拿破侖說：“在

我的學(xué)典里沒有不可能這一字眼?！闭沁@種自信激發(fā)了他無比的智慧與潛能，

使他成為橫掃歐洲的一代名將。

在現(xiàn)實中，自信不一定能讓你成功的話，那么丟失信心就一定會導(dǎo)致失

敗。很多成績優(yōu)秀在同學(xué)在高考中失利，他們不是輸在知識能力上，而是敗在信

心上。

2、優(yōu)化情緒

心理學(xué)認(rèn)為，人的學(xué)習(xí)生活中，情緒扮演著十分重要的角色，它象染色

劑，使人的學(xué)習(xí)生活染上各種各樣的色彩。有這樣一個故事，有個老婆婆非常疼

愛她的兩個女兒，這兩個女兒均為小販，一個賣雨傘，一個賣布鞋，這個婆婆晴

天擔(dān)心大女兒的傘賣不出去，整天哭泣，雨天又擔(dān)心小女兒的布鞋賣不出去，又

整天淚流。街鄰叫她哭婆婆。后來一位先生開啟她說：“我為你感到高興。晴天

您的大女兒的傘賣得好，雨天小女兒的鞋賣得俏?！逼牌怕牶?，臉色馬上轉(zhuǎn)陰為

晴，由哭到笑，街鄰又叫她笑婆婆?？奁牌抛?yōu)樾ζ牌诺墓适抡f明：同一件事，

看問題的角度不同，情緒就不同，結(jié)果就兩樣。變換角度看問題，情緒自然調(diào)整

過來了。在迎考復(fù)習(xí)和高考中，要學(xué)會轉(zhuǎn)移情緒，將自己的情緒調(diào)整到最佳狀態(tài)。

在情緒緊張的時候，聽聽輕音樂，哼哼小調(diào)，或伸伸手-，彎彎腰，搖搖脖子，扭

扭屁股；或漫步戶外，看看云霞，聽聽蛙聲；或與同學(xué)聊聊天，講講趣事，幽默

幽默?？紙錾峡勺鲎錾詈粑?、望望窗外。

3、自我減壓

臨考前降低心理預(yù)期目標(biāo)，以平常心對待考試，充分發(fā)揮了自己的水平

就是勝利。以怎樣的心態(tài)對待復(fù)習(xí)與考試，對進(jìn)入最佳狀態(tài)關(guān)系很大。若把復(fù)習(xí)

與考試看成一種挑戰(zhàn)，會激發(fā)自己很快進(jìn)入狀態(tài)；把它看成一種鍛煉，會以平和

的心態(tài)投入；把它看成一次機(jī)會，會以積極的心態(tài)迎接。

4、自我質(zhì)辯

自我質(zhì)辯是心態(tài)自我調(diào)整的良方之一。比如，有“離中考越近，便越擔(dān)

心自己能力”的憂慮的同學(xué)，不妨進(jìn)行如下自我質(zhì)辯：自問：這種擔(dān)心必要嗎？

自答：毫無必要，平時自己一向?qū)W習(xí)認(rèn)真，雖不十分優(yōu)秀，但只要認(rèn)真做好考前

準(zhǔn)備，正常發(fā)揮，這次考試完全可以考好，根本不必為這無端的擔(dān)心而苦惱。又

問：這種擔(dān)心有利嗎？自答：沒有，它有百害無一利，它松懈人的斗志，轉(zhuǎn)移人

注意目標(biāo)，若不及早排除，到考后將悔之晚矣。再問：我該怎么辦呢？自答：最

要緊的是對考試充滿自信，要有條不紊的地組織復(fù)習(xí)，扎扎實實地做好考前準(zhǔn)備。

通過這樣自我質(zhì)辯，心中的擔(dān)憂也就化解了。

5、積極暗示

積極暗示能強(qiáng)化自己的信心，消除煩惱。消極暗示會降低人的信心，徒

增憂心?？忌诳记熬鸵鶕?jù)自己的情況，進(jìn)行積極暗示，自我打氣?！拔倚?，

我一定行”?！拔覞摿Υ蟆??！拔疫M(jìn)步大”?！拔蚁矚g挑戰(zhàn)”。如遇到自己實在

解不出的題難題也不要憂心忡忡。從狐貍吃葡萄的故事中我們可以得到啟迪，狐

貍吃不到葡萄就說葡萄是酸的，這并不是“自欺欺人”，而是“聰明過人”之

處。面對一顆自己確實吃不到的葡萄，與其在架下上竄下跳白費力，還不如說這

顆葡萄是酸的，另找甜的——自己熟悉的、力所能及的，以長補(bǔ)短，同樣可以成

功。通過良好的自我暗示，可以驅(qū)散憂郁，克服怯懦，恢復(fù)自信，激發(fā)興奮點，

把自己的心態(tài)、情緒，調(diào)整到最佳狀態(tài)。

6、潛心每一步

集中注意力關(guān)注如何扎扎實實地走好每一步。瓦倫達(dá)是美國著名的鋼索

雜技演員，人在離地幾十米的高空走鋼索，沒任何安全保護(hù)措施，險象可想而知。

但瓦倫達(dá)毫不畏懼，每戰(zhàn)必勝。有人問他成功的決竅，他說：“我走鋼索時，從

不想到目的地，只想走鋼索這一件事，專心致志走好每一步，不管得失?！焙髞?/p>

心理學(xué)把這種專注于做自己的事，不為其他雜念所動的心理現(xiàn)象稱為“瓦倫達(dá)心

態(tài)”?？忌氆@得成功，就應(yīng)有這種瓦倫達(dá)心態(tài)。不要無端地給自己預(yù)設(shè)困難，

讓自己還沒開始就先怯場了。六月的考試只是一次比較大一點的檢測而已。

7、正常作息

考前保證充足睡眠，蓄精養(yǎng)銳去迎接考試是非常必要的。挑燈夜戰(zhàn)，以

犧牲睡眠時間去進(jìn)行題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)是得不償失時。殊不知題目浩如煙海，你再做一年、

兩年也做不完。頭天睡眠不足，第二天大腦就處于半休眠狀態(tài)，思維就處于抑
