Exam
anxiety |
|
This is the crucial period in the run-up to
the public HKCEE exams. We all remember pre-exam tension: the
apprehension, gnawing worry and stress that come with being
tested. It is perfectly natural to feel stressed and can act
as a good motivator. Unfortunately, it can also have terribly
negative effects on young people who do not know how to deal
with stress. Many of them have unrealistically high self-expectations,
they are under pressure from school to succeed and fear most
of all the idea of letting their parents down.
|
HKFYG provides stress counselling
to counteract these negative effects. Hotline workers and school
social workers offer understanding and a calming effect for
panicked young callers who are overwrought and unable to concentrate
for fear of doing badly.
They reassure and explain
how important it is to understand how stress works in order
to counteract
it. They tell disorganised students how to manage their time
for revision, giving practical advice on nutrition, rest
and relaxation as well as on the options just in case of failure. Read
this week's Feature Story and Facts & Figures for
comment and statistics from counsellors, parents, students
and researchers on the effects of exam tension. |

a Federation counsellor who tries to give relief … more...
