that cool.
and shit happens - there are other ways to get into uni or succeed. the HSC and UAI (in NSW) aren't everything. yes people bum out in exams - might just be me but i believe this is because they are stressing about not knowing the work. what do you reckon???

it has been demonstrated numerous times academically that high levels of stress lead to a decrease in cognitive processing quality, and thus a decrease in performance in examinations.

people always say "it's not the only way to get into uni" but, honestly, it's the simplest and (arguably) the easiest, which means less gross stress.

And staz, i find that if i'm way calm during an exam i do worse. i personally need to be a little nervous/stressed in order to psych myself up, get my brain going and finish the test in time.

the highwayman is technically correct...if u didnt or dont feel nervous in situations such as an exam (unless u really dont care) the body isn't able to stimulate ur brain and produce necessary wateva it is in the body that enable u to function well...in simplier terms if dat butterfly feeling didnt exist u'd just drop dead
does dat make every1 feel betta about being stressed and nervous?

of course, there's always a limit as to how much stress is healthy.

But I think some people let that feeling take over them, thats when stress gets out of control.

This might not appeal to anyone else but i listen to music chronically and it chills me out, probably because its so loud it forces the stress out of me or i go for a walk listening to music to clear my head??

I'll keep it in mind.

How irritatingly confident?
Maybe you'll completely fail your trials and then start stressing?
The girl who got dux of our school last year (99+) was more stressed than anyone. I think she had multiple breakdowns and possibly heart failure, lol.
But she's brilliant =)
She just thought she was nowhere near as good as everyone else. Silly muffin.
Point is, she still did bloody well!

And now, not a month but 10 days from the trials?

i prefer to have a little stress then none as when you are not "on your toes" in an exam thats when you make the most stupidest of mistakes. the main time that stress actually sucks is in class speeches. ewww speeches. so i'm half agreeing but also disagreeing.
hope that makes sense

lorinella · 5 Aug 2008, 3:59 PM

yeah i rekon stress keeps you on ur toes, it makes u worry about the detail that might otherwise go unnoticed or unrevised beofre an exam. but dont get me wrong, too much stress is not good at all!
