The senior high school entrance ex amination is coming in three months. Now I can't pay all my attention to my study. I feel stressed out and make mistakes because of the nervousness. In recent exams, I can't get the satisfying grades. I am quite worried about my grades. What should I do?

I am glad to receive your letter. Everyone who faces big exams is often nervous. Don't always care about the grades. All you have to do is to make full use of your time properly. Here I give you some advice.

First, plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time.

Second, find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. No games, radios, or televisions! When you sit down to study , concentrate on the subject.

Besides, keep a regular(有规律的) study habit. When you get home from school, go over your notes.

Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Finally, develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge.

I think if you follow these suggestions, your grades may be improved in the future.
