BHG - June is the exam season with important exams for grade 10 and high school graduation. The requirements for exam results and the increasing competition make not only candidates but also parents unable to avoid pressure, nervousness and anxiety. Therefore, to help students stabilize their psychology before the exam, there needs to be attention and encouragement from schools, teachers and especially families.
According to some teachers and parents, some students feel stressed as the exam approaches. The nature of important exams such as the 10th grade entrance exam, especially the high school graduation exam, makes many students focus on studying, even in the days leading up to the exam. Through practical research, it can be seen that many students, despite having stable academic performance and investing in long-term learning, do not study in a rush. However, the saying "studying is talent, taking the exam is fate" or the high competitiveness of candidates' wishes makes students easily feel anxious and nervous.

Besides the candidates with stable academic performance, there are also students who have not prepared the best for the exam, studying in a crash course before the exam. Many students in the final days, facing the competition from the exam, have concentrated their efforts, participating in 2-3 consecutive extra classes at exam preparation centers during the day, and starting to study all night at night, which can easily lead to psychological stress and stress. There are students who, due to anxiety and pressure before the exam, study a lot, eat and sleep poorly, leading to weight loss, and even due to stress, in some cases, digestive disorders...
According to Master of Psychology Nguyen Thai Hung, Director of the Center for Training, Fostering and Human Resources Development - Thai Nguyen University Branch in Ha Giang : Many students have not had much experience with competitions and exams, some of them are facing the exam for the first time with competition for the 10th grade and high school graduation exam. Therefore, it leads to a feeling of nervousness mixed with anxiety and certain stress. Especially, when the exam days are getting closer, the nervousness and anxiety make students easily feel unconfident with the knowledge they have learned; because there are many subjects in an exam, not all students can grasp, distribute study time evenly, and master all subjects, there are still subjects that they are not confident in their knowledge. This also makes students worried and lack confidence before entering the exam.
There are also psychological issues that can affect each student before the exam. Such as family factors with high expectations from parents and relatives for their children; before the exams, there are often many wishes from relatives and friends such as passing the first choice... which also makes students easily feel pressured; weather factors such as June is always hot, the body is easily tired, at the same time, for a long time, students repeat the review, study day and night, little physical exercise, sports also easily make students feel tired, sleepy, hoping the exam will pass soon... Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy, in group 12, Tran Phu ward, Ha Giang city, whose child is taking the 10th grade entrance exam, said that this year is the first year that candidates will take the exam according to the new generaleducation program, with the new testing and assessment methods also causing certain concerns for students. In mid-February, Ha Giang just chose to take the History - Geography exam for 10th graders, causing many students taking the exam for Specialized schools to hastily switch from studying English to History - Geography and also face certain pressures.
June has come, the exam days are approaching, students feel more and more anxious and nervous. Therefore, in order for children to be able to stabilize their psychology to pass the exam, in addition to encouragement from teachers and schools, they need special care and attention from families. Parents and relatives need to be close and encourage their children during the exam preparation time, with the view of creating more motivation for them, not pressure.
Master of Psychology Nguyen Thai Hung, Thai Nguyen University Branch in Ha Giang, added that families should not mention too high expectations for students during the time when they are rushing for exams to avoid making them feel stressed. During this period, it is necessary to encourage children with family meals with nutritious food; encourage them to allocate their review time during the day reasonably, avoid staying up too late. Provide your children with a quiet study space, avoiding negative external influences on them. If they have knowledge, parents can also accompany their children in subjects by interacting with them about knowledge to help them feel that they have someone to share and accompany them. In addition to review time, they should also encourage them to participate in some recreational activities and light exercise to help them relax mentally.
