How to study on computers for a test

With 2020 pandemic world is going through, most of the learning has become online. Tests are also computer-based assessments. Hence at www.examsample.com, we thought it best to write a few tips and tricks on how to study and practice on computers. We will also introduce some terms which you may or may not know. But it should be a good read if you have come on this page.

Study on table and chair

When you are using laptop or desktop for your studies or test preparation always sit on table and chair. By doing this

• You can keep you neck straight and at a distance
• Relax shoulders parallel to the floor
• Minimal bend at the wrist
• Using chair you can keep your back straight and relaxed

Take breaks

While studying on laptops/computers it's important to take a break. After every 30-60 min, have a small walk, take a beverage, and relax. Doing this makes you feel less tired, muscles get a bit of exercise and also your body feels reactivated

Know your system well

It's very important that you are very familiar with your system capabilities. A good example is the popup blocker or an ad blocker. At times are you are not able to see the content. Look out for a popup blocker in your machine. Similarly, your system should be well updated with anti-virus. This helps any malicious application getting into your system.

Internet

It's very important to ensure you have the right internet speed. Before giving any test, its okay to check with your internet provider if there is a planned outage in your area.

Sample Study guide

Always give sample computer based assessment to familiarize yourself how the questions will appear in the examination

Anxiety before the test

There are many students, test seekers who complain being more stressed by tests and by schoolwork than by anything else in their lives. The anxiety of the outcome of the test pounds heavy on their thought. About 16-20% of students have high test anxiety, making this the most prevalent scholastic impairment in our schools today. Another 18% are troubled by moderately-high test anxiety. (Statistics from American Test Anxieties Association web portal).

Examsample.com recommends every test seeker to follow a few points to reduce their anxiety level.

Believe in what you have prepared

You have worked very hard till now. If its a day before the test or on the day of the test, believe in all that you have prepared. You have read the right books, study guides, practiced sample papers. There is nothing more any other person will do. Why worry!

If you have an anxiety level a month before the exam, then it's the right time to start preparing. At no point, I am saying you should start studying a month before for any test. But if you have not, its high time not to wait any longer. Any test which you need to appear needs a methodical way of preparation that cannot start a night before the exam.

Relax and Relax before the exam

When you have prepared for the exam, its obvious about the question your mind will to go,"Is my preparation adequate"?. For me, the answer has always been yes. Do you know why.... There is hardly i can do anything 5 mins before the exam. The only thing i can do is to relax. Be confident. And let my thoughts know, I am confident whatever comes, I will be able to reach my goals.

Anxiety level a night before exam

I have heard from lot of examsample.com users that they get stressed out the night before the exam. The simple answer I have given them, please revise each and every topic which is giving you anxiety. Everyone has some topic which they don't feel confident. Its a good idea to give some importance to that topic. Use study guide, use sample questions, use books, use flashcards to revise the topics where you have concerns.

I have also got questions like i have not prepared at all, and tomorrow is my test. If I fail what will happen. My only piece of advice is to go ahead read the study guide, do selective study, use flashcards. No one knows you are the lucky one. Whatever you have prepared, may make all the sense in the exam and you are able to succeed. But being nervous or anxious and not doing anything doesn't help the cause.

Sleep and good food

Good nutritious food will always help you to sleep well. Remember, food has nothing to do with your preparation for the test. It's an enabler which means if your stomach is empty then you cant study. But if you had nutritious, mouth-watering food then you not only study well but also have a good sleep at night. A good sleep before the exam is very important. It helps you remain fresh. And for sure there are some bonus marks you will get if your body is relaxed and is able to concentrate at the question on hand rather than an anxious mind, deprived of sleep and food

Reach well in time before the exam

One thing which has always helped me and users of this portal, is by maintaining the advice of reaching the exam place in time. There is no rush because of traffic from your home to the test center. You have left some time to get accustomed to the surroundings. See your friends, if anyone is giving a test with you. Have some time to take a sip of water. Check if you have admitted card, necessary tools to give the exam. All these will for sure calm your nerves and you will feel much more confident
