The method that will provide an advantage in the university exam: "Strategic solution"


Specialist Psychological Counselor Elif Ünal, who made suggestions to increase the success of the exam with few days before Higher Education Exam (YKS), noted that university candidate students will determine the questions as easy, medium difficulty and very difficult, and make strategic test solutions from easy to difficult, which will increase their success.


There is short time left for the university exam that will determine the future of millions of young people. Specialist Psychological Counselor Elif Ünal from Istanbul Gelisim University, who stated that it is not enough for the young people who continue their studies without interrupting their exam preparations to achieve success, drew attention to motivation and exam anxiety. Ünal advised the candidates to be motivated in the exam and to overcome their exam anxiety.

Listing the things to be done before the exam, Expert Psychological Counselor Elif Ünal stated the following:

“First of all, students need to set realistic goals. Let them determine which university and department they want to go to. Let them write down their goals on small pieces of paper and stick them on their desks to keep them motivated. Thus, seeing those papers every time they study can make them motivated again. In addition to this, we recommend that they study the topics that will appear in the exam in the divide and manage system. In the remaining time, they can divide the topics and gradually increase the solution of the questions. The important thing is to be on the move, to make an effort every day for the exam, and to have the continuity of this effort.

The point to be considered while studying is their desires are at their peak and they stop studying when they are tired when their desires are at this level. Because when the student's desire to study is at its peak, it has been observed that s/he studies more eagerly and enthusiastically the next day. In addition, they can start to solve the test in the last weeks of the exam. Let them not forget that their success in the test exams will also be their success in the exam. Having practice exams will enable them to gain experience for the exam and start the exam more motivated.”

Anxiety symptoms

Listing the physiological symptoms of exam anxiety, Ünal stated the following: “They may experience anxiety and fear in the exam. If we look at the difference between anxiety and fear, fear is something that can be seen and known. But anxiety is the fear of the unseen and unknown. Students may think about what they will experience in the exam and feel fear and anxiety. They can understand that their anxiety rises during the exam from the sweating of their hands, dry mouth, abdominal pain, that is, an abnormal reaction in the body.”

Ways to deal with anxiety during exams

Ünal made the following recommendations to reduce anxiety during the exam:

“They can take 30 seconds to 1 minute breathing breaks. If the breathing break is not good for the student, they can take a look at the objects in the exam room. They will feel that their anxiety has decreased a little by taking their attention away from the exam paper, even for a little bit. It is important to stay calm for the first 10 minutes when the exam starts. In order to ensure this calmness, the candidate should start the exam from the course he knows best. As the student sees what he can do, his test anxiety will decrease. Students should put a single exclamation point (!) for the questions that are easy for them, two exclamation points (!!) for the questions that are more difficult, and three exclamation points (!!!) for the questions that are difficult for them. They should solve the questions accordingly. When the questions are finished, when they return to the beginning for the questions they have not done, they should complete the exam strategically in this order. This method will provide candidates with support for success.”
