    Nowadays in school life，a lot of students develop a fear of tests. It's not because tests are something to be afraid of. Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don't have enough self-confidence and they don't always think they are well prepared. If you follow the tips below, it's not difficult to overcome(克服)your fear of tests.

    People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear test most. However, most students don't know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as(只要)you know that you have studied well and long enough, you have a reason to believe that you are well-prepared.

    Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two things: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded(毫无根据)or you could actually do well in the test because of your confidence. Some students find that they experience the first result. However, this is only because those students might not have followed the first tip mentioned above. As long as you have studied well, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test. If you feel as if you have not studied hard enough, then you will not be as confident as you should be.

    Ask your teacher about the main points that may be covered in the test while getting ready for the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask if their teacher doesn't give the information first, so make sure that you ask.

    You should know that tests just check your knowledge and don't lose heart because of one test failure. As long as you think that there is another tomorrow, you can overcome your fear of a test. However, make sure that you are going to prepare well for the other tests.

    Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude(态度)and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips.
