Exams are among some of the most difficult things that we face in life. If you are about to sit for exams and need some words of encouragement before a test then do read on. Let me start by saying that I hope you have done your part and have been studying. There is really no amount of encouragement that can make up for not studying. If I told you things would be fine when you had not been studying I would be lying.
　　If you have been studying then you have nothing to worry about. What you should know is that you will never be asked questions that are outside your syllabus （教學大纲）. Being fearful has been known to cause people to temporarily forget things that they know， especially during exams. So you can do yourself a favor by taking it easy.
　　When you get the question paper， do not rush to answer it.
　　Go through each question carefully and make sure you understand it. Make a note of the ones that you find easy and start with those. As long as you number them correctly there is no hard and fast rule about which question you should start with. Those are words of encouragement before a test that I hope you remember.
　　If you meet with any question that you are blank on， skip it and move on to the next one. There is no use wasting time trying to recall something that you do not clearly remember.
