Dear teachers and students,

Good morning everyone。I am Huang Manwen, a psychology teacher in Grade One, and I am honored to give a speech under the national flag on "psychological adjustment after examination"。

In the era of the pandemic, we all have a better understanding of the word "uncertainty"。Face masks, special online learning hours, disrupted grade schedules, life's uncertainties have suddenly increased。But for you in high school, studying and taking tests is the constant theme, and you are experiencing one of the rare times in your long life journey to focus on one thing - this thing is undoubtedly learning。

Examinations are the test of learning results。

Three days of the mid-term exam, I believe that the students under the leadership of the teachers of each subject, test out their own style。No matter what the result is, we can thank ourselves for this half semester, the first grade students need to adapt to the new environment, the new class, the second grade students in the practical experience of study and life, the third grade students are busy sprinting for the big exam next June, everyone did a great job。

Perhaps we can regard this midterm exam as an opportunity to check the gaps and test the learning results。Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1) What is my strongest and weakest subject？

2) Which knowledge points are comfortable and which knowledge points are unclear？

3) Am I getting the grades I should be able to get？If so, congratulations;If not, what are the reasons for losing points？

The above three questions are an objective look at the midterm exam, and from a psychological point of view, we will personify the midterm exam, treat the midterm as your friend, what do you want to say to it？What message does the midterm convey that can help you better adjust your study status？

On the one hand, we can learn something from the mid-term exam from both the perspective of fact checking and psychological feeling.On the other hand, exam results are often not completely controlled。Of course we are not unprepared, but the result of the exam can be affected by many factors。Maybe the question you read before the test is on the test paper;Maybe you don't sleep well the night before a test and are distracted during the test.The unfamiliar environment in the exam room makes you nervous...

There are many factors that affect the exam. What we can do is to make good preparations, such as listening to the class, planning the review time, ensuring sufficient sleep, and having a normal mind about the results of the exam。The most fascinating game is the appropriate difficulty, there is feedback, the exam and the attributes of this game are consistent, you can take the exam as a stage of the strange upgrade, through the exam you will find yourself in where there is room for growth, to maintain the interest in learning and perseverance, the future study and life look forward to。

The road of learning will be up and down and search, sometimes lonely, sometimes wandering, but you can always believe that learning will fill our souls;And better grades will help us to go to a bigger stage, give us more choices and become a better self。

The story of the tortoise and the hare has been said too much, and the hare running fast is a gift, but who can deny the greatness of the tortoise walking slowly to the end？We celebrate effortless talent, but scorn persistent effort, which we jokingly call "volume."。In fact, hard work and talent are equally worthy of respect, whether you are a tortoise or a rabbit, after three years to reach the end, on the track of learning, you have become the only protagonist and champion in your middle school。

In the face of exams and results, although there are uncertain components, we can seize the moment that can change, look straight at the bright future, and always have expectations for the future study and life and exam results。

Expectation and hard work are the two best talents!If you want to know more psychological tips, you are also welcome to follow the public number "Tsinghua High School Mood modulation".。We'll always be there when you need us。
