5 Tips for Top Test Scores
By Wayne F. Perkins
 

 

Are you ready to take your college mid-term or final examinations? Do you feel confident you will pass your tests? How about your GRE or LSAT standardized test scores?

Here are five great tips that will help you achieve higher test scores and reduce the
stress associated with taking your tests, at the same time. As a hypnotist, I have
worked with thousands of students in, junior high school, high school, and college. I find
these tips help all students overcome anxiety caused by test taking, and improve
memory and recall. The results are better standardized test and college examination scores.

1. Get a good night sleep before the test. Do not stay up all night. Your brain works so
much better after a good night's sleep. You will carry a relaxed and confident feeling
into the testing classroom or lecture hall.

2. Breathe deeply. When you find yourself in the classroom, begin breathing deeply and
deliberately. Think to yourself, the test will be easy, and you feel confident in the
improved grade you will attain after taking the test.

When the professor passes out your test and it is in your hand, take three slow deep
breaths. Each time you inhale; feel energy entering your body. Feel the energy
stimulate your brain. Each time you exhale, picture, and feel all of the tension leaving
your lungs.
 

3. Skip the difficult questions. As you begin taking the test, answer all the questions,
you are confident in, first. Each time you pass over a hard question, take slow deep
breaths again, allowing your body to relax and your brain to focus on the easy
questions.

You will find you will soon have an urge to go back to the difficult question, answering it.
Go ahead and do so at this time.
 

4. Remember, you are smarter than you think. In spite of what your parents said or
what your teachers think, you are much smarter than you think. As you relax your body
and focus your brain, you will begin to feel more in control of your test results.
Everything you have ever read, heard, touched, tasted or smelled is always stored in
your brain. As you relax, you will find it easier to remember information.
 

5. Never, cheat on a test. By cheating on a test, not only do you stand a chance of
expulsion from college, but also you are sending a message to your brain that you are
not smart enough to take a test on your own. What happens next is you lose self-
confidence, for not only the test you are taking currently, but also all tests and all
subjects. The loss in self-confidence is much more damaging and will follow you around
longer than expulsion from school.

The lack of self-confidence will find affect personal relationships, jobs, and earning
power over a lifetime. Relax and trust yourself to remember the information you need
without cheating on tests.

Summary

Remember to relax when taking tests. Relaxation triggers the brain to remember
information easier and recall it when taking tests. Practice the five steps and watch your college test scores rise.
