Many people find exams a frightening（令人害怕的） experience．Sitting down for an exam when everybody is so quiet and serious makes people nervous．
But there are several things you can do to relax before you start．At thebeginning of an exam，read all the instructions carefully so that you know exactly what you have to do．Work out how much time you have to answer each question and make sure you have enough time to check your answers．If you feel yourself getting nervous at any time，stop what you are doing and take a deep breath．
However，the most useful things are always done before you get to the exam room．Keep up with your schoolwork all year long．You may do some practice tests and review your lessons in a right way．And then the real thing will seem much easier．You also need to remember that exams are not the most important things in the world-even though you fail，you can do better next time．The more you take，the less worried you will be．
