According to a recent report in the journal Science, taking a few minutes before an exam to write about all those fears could help students perform better.‎ ‎ The study was conducted by Professor Sian L. Beilock, from the University of Chicago, and his graduate student Gerardo Ramirez.‎ ‎ First, the researchers asked 20 college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score.

Both groups then took the same exam.‎ ‎ The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test, and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%.‎ ‎ Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the examination. However, experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter. It can only make them become more relaxed and focused.‎ ‎69.
