We’ve all had nightmares about final exams. For most people, final exams are a necessary hardship. Here are some quick exam tips for getting through your final exams with your sanity intact (完整的理智).
我们都做过关于期末考试的噩梦。对大多数人来说，期末考试是不可避免的困难。这里有一些快速的考试技巧，可以帮助你安然无恙地通过期末考试。
1. Get a good night’s sleep before your final exams.
1. 期末考试前睡个好觉。
There will probably come a point the night before your final exams when it suddenly dawns on you: if you just put on another pot of coffee or crack open a Red Bull, you could stay up a few hours longer, cram in some more life-saving last-minute revision, and worry about sleep when it’s all over. What could go wrong? DON’T LISTEN TO THE VOICES. Knowing stuff is important, but not as important as having a good sleep.
期末考试的前一天晚上，你可能会突然意识到：如果你再泡一壶咖啡或开一瓶红牛，你就可以多熬几个小时，在最后一刻死记硬背一些救命的复习内容，等考试结束后再担心睡眠问题。会出什么问题呢?不要听信那些声音。知识固然重要，但不如睡个好觉重要。
2. Take five minutes to read through the questions properly and plan your answers.
2. 花五分钟把问题通读一遍，然后计划你的答案。
Remember the story about the race between the tortoise and the hare? Basically, the tortoise wins. The point is, chances are the examiner is going to actually read your answer rather than just give you a gold star for filling up loads of paper with some words that you thought of really quickly. Likewise, there aren’t many things worse than getting to the end of an ingenious answer only to realise you’ve actually completely misunderstood the question. Five or ten minutes making a few bullet points and gathering your thoughts could be the most useful time you spend.
还记得龟兔赛跑的故事吗?基本上，乌龟赢了。关键是，考官很有可能会认真阅读你的答案，而不是因为你在试卷上填满了一些你很快就能想到的单词而给你打个金星。同样地，没有什么事情比想出一个巧妙的答案却发现自己完全误解了问题更糟糕的了。花上5到10分钟来总结要点，整理思路，这可能是你所花的最有用的时间。
3. Think positively and you’ll probably be fine.
3. 积极思考，你可能就会好起来。
Don’t beat yourself up about the fact that you haven’t learnt everything, no one really does. And remember that no matter how earth-shatteringly important it seems at the time, whatever happens, life will go on and everything will probably be fine. If you go into your final exams in the right frame of mind you might surprise yourself by thinking of a load of things to say that never occurred to you before. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve learned, if you work yourself up into a nervous wreck you probably won’t do yourself justice.
不要因为自己没有学会所有的东西而自责，没有人真正学会了。记住，无论当时这件事看起来有多重要，无论发生什么，生活都会继续，一切都会好起来的。如果你以正确的心态参加期末考试，你可能会因为想到一大堆以前从未想过的事情而感到惊讶。不管你学了多少，如果你把自己搞得神经兮兮的，你可能就无法发挥自己的能力了。
