Talking to yourself during exams (1 Viewer)

[reps2g]

Do you guys find it that you perform better if you talk aloud about your thought process in exams?

i never talk in exams lol the most was in maths hsc last week i just kept making angry sounds when i forgot how to do the thing, it was so frustrating

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Yeah I talk to myself silently in maths exams haha

yeah, it's actually proven to help people in exams especially in the case of over anxiety and mental blanks/breakdowns, haven't you found sometimes (more common in maths) that there are parts that you can do normally with such great speed, but you spend more time on certain sections that aren't too hard, by talking to yourself this ultimately establishes an objective which you can clearly work through step by step to achieve your answer (especially necessary for maths)
I don't speak it out aloud in the exam lol, but I do mouth it, or whisper it very silently or without a sound, especially when I'm trying to rememorise things, this correlates with my memory, because through study of key factors for exams that require a lot of essays, legal, eco, modern and english, I usually remember my info by saying it out loud in a certain order anyway, so in the exam by saying it out, helps stimulate all those past hours of practice I've had ultimately maintaining my level of optimal arousal as well as putting down massive amounts of content.

I make angry facial expressions that get supervisors to stare at me and question my sanity.

^lolol

I think I do. I do it subconsciously and then realise I'm doing it so I shut up. people around me must think I'm insane/find me really annoying

 

[ahdil33]

Yeah, I always do this for any subject which requires thinking, Eco, Maths SDD etc. But almost silently.

 

[madharris]

Yep,always taking to myself during exams, which is weird because I don't do it when I practice.

I don't do it on purpose though, just kind of happens and I don't realise it

 

[Renstarr]

I kinda hope that everyone else would be too focused on their own exams to notice. In my trials one of the supervising teachers came up and asked me if I was ok. LOL.
