3) Desensitization. A considerable part of the excitement and anxiety is caused by an unfamiliar environment and an unforeseen situation. Compare your feelings at home and away. In our own apartment we feel more free and relaxed. Athletes show the best results when playing on their own field, and some cats generally refuse to leave the owner’s apartment. It is a little easier to take the Unified State Exam in your own school, in your own class, sitting at the desk where you spent many years. When you take entrance exams at a university, you unwittingly come across a huge number of unusual and even unfamiliar things. This includes the road to the university, a security point at the entrance, winding corridors, and a huge auditorium. All these new sensations will involuntarily make anyone worry. Your job is to make sure you feel at home during the exam. It's easy to guess what needs to be done for this. Visit the place where you will take the exams in advance, get acquainted with its interiors: eat in the dining room, find the bathrooms. Walk around the classrooms, sit on the windowsills, look into the library, study the bulletin board. Spend a few hours at the university. It is better to make such an outing more than once, several times. It's good if you can sit over books while preparing for an exam at the university. The more time you spend within its walls, the calmer you will feel during the entrance exams. Even the test form can cause increased anxiety. Question numbers, boxes, watermarks - all this causes involuntary excitement. Find last year's test versions and answer sheets online. Print them out. Two to three weeks before the exam, hang these worrying sheets on the walls of your room. They should fill the space around you. And besides, start using them as a kind of paper tablecloth. Cover the entire area of ​​the dining table with tests and forms. Let your eyes wander over them as you eat. This method may seem strange or frivolous to you, but check it out - it works! Time is important here; the longer you are surrounded by red forms and tricky questions, the easier you treat them. The final part of the article will be published soon.
