When anxiety(焦虑)kicks in students can completely lose concentration, leading to poor scores. But is there any solution to such stress? The key to reducing test anxiety is writing. According to a recent report in the journal Science taking a few minutes before an exam to write about all those fears could help students perform better.The study was conducted by Professor Sian L. Beilock from the University of Chicago and his graduate student Gcrardo Ramirez.First the researchers asked 20 college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score. Next they told the students that they could get a monetary award if they got a good score and that they were being videotaped.Before beginning the main test the researchers asked one group of students to spend 10 minutes writing down their anxieties about the test while the other group sat quietly. Both groups then took the same exam.The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%.Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the examination. However experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter. It can only make them become more relaxed and focused.26 .
