The senior high school candidate cried bitterly due to pressure, and was crying: "I was suddenly very scared and the college entrance examination is about to be taken. I was still confused every day and I was reviewing a lot..."

The student on the side explained: He got up early and went to bed late every day, and was studying, but his score was not good.

This is a scene in the popular drama "The Big Test", which is heartbreaking to watch. Why do you get into the exam the closer you get?

Jasmine is an American senior high school student. She is smart and has excellent academic performance, but she never gets high scores in important SAT exams, which is obviously inconsistent with her true strength. Why do you have excellent performance on weekdays and “fall out of the chain” at critical moments?

Nowadays, exams are commonplace. Whether students or adults who want to obtain a professional certificate, they must pass the exam even if they get a driver's license. There must be pressure when there is an exam, and pressure affects performance.

Generally speaking, proper pressure is beneficial, which can improve our efficiency and make us progress. If we are too low, we will feel bored and boring, and if we are too high, we will feel nervous, anxious and abnormal. The more critical the exam or occasion, the greater the pressure, the worse the performance may be. How to solve this problem makes our efforts not in vain, and hard work will bring rewards.

American psychologist and educator Ben Bernstein, who has been engaged in education for 50 years and provides performance guidance to the winners of Oscars, Tony Awards and Pulitzer Prizes, brought his lifelong work "Exam Psychology - Psychological Quality and Examination Room Performance" and his "Triangle Stool Model".

This is the first book that gathers exam psychology. It tells us clearly and domineeringly that no matter whether you are facing a small test, a doctoral thesis, or even a big life test, the key to ensuring that you are steadily successful is to learn to remain calm, confident and focused, that is, keep your body calm, keep your thinking confident, keep your spirit focused, and have a stable "triangle stool" relationship.

So starting from the three parts of body, mind and spirit, each part has 3 tools, through the quantifiable "Bernstein Performance Scale (BPI), self-diagnose which part is lacking.

On this basis, you can identify where your problem lies and which aspect you should pay more attention to. In exams or other occasions, if you notice a sign of problem, use the tools to fill the gaps immediately. I do more tools training on weekdays, and the author is also very considerate. Scan the QR code on WeChat to listen and practice.

Jasmine is a case in the book. She was nervous and held her breath unconsciously, causing shortcomings in the "triangle stool" to calm down, which affected the exam. The following tools are available.

In the TV series "The Big Test", the child at the beginning of this article was nervous and had problems with his thinking confidence. The "triangle stool" was seriously tilted and collapsed instantly.

Let’s take a look at Zhou Bowen. When an epidemic occurs, students take online classes at home. Other children are unstable and not focused enough due to the influence of the environment. Their grades are declining significantly, but they are consistent. They focus on studying when they are studying and go out to run when it is time. They are both relaxing and strengthening their bodies. At the same time, they are full of confidence. The "triangle stool" is very stable, and of course their grades are stable.

In the play, Pan Xiaoxuan did nothing in school and took a year off from school. However, he was loved by his master when he went to the factory. He praised him for not only being smart but also being able to endure hardships. Why is the contrast so big? According to the analysis of the "triangle stool model", Pan Xiaoxuan said that going to college is for his father's face and he has no life goals. He said that he learned English, mathematics, history, etc. in school. I don't know what it is for me to learn, so my mental score is too low to focus on learning.

Another advantage of this book is that the tools provided can be used in all aspects of life, such as what are the goals of life? The author says that the purpose of a person living in this world is to face all challenges, withstand all tests, and on this basis become his destined self. The significance of this big test in life is to help you gradually become the best self.
