The stress and anxiety are always known as to be tense situations and they let down the performance of an individual. But according to Psychology professors and educational Researchers this stress and anxiety can lead an individual towards better performance and they have proved this with the help of evidence.
If you are giving a
TEXES exam, or any other difficult exam like TEXES, then on the exam day it’s natural that you feel more tense and nervous. You believe on this fact that the more you feel nervous the more your score in the exam will suffer.
But totally opposite to this concept, the psychology professors from Georgia technical university in Atlanta disagree with this concept. They have evidences for their theory and they get these evidences by a study which was conducted by psychology faculty members from Georgia. In this study they determine that how much the feelings of anxiety and stress have an impact on the big exams and PPR tests like TEXES. Total 239 students were recruited for this study and before the tests, students were asked to express and rate their feelings and energy levels.
The researchers offered an attractive cash prize as a bonus for the students who beat their previous high scores. This was made to raise up boost the stress levels in students. The results may be unexpected for us, but the psychology professors and researchers were completely satisfied by this research because they have proved what they had said. It was discovered during the test that as the test time goes longer, the level of stress and feelings of anxiety rose and also the test scores.
There is a fact that mostly students increase their efforts when the feeling of stress and fatigue increases. The researchers had named this phenomenon as the achievement motivation. You should take this research in such a way that stress is not the substitute of study because without study only the stress cannot make u successful. High scores are only possible with plenty of preparation and study.
This study research is very encouraging for the Texas teachers because before this study they thought that they will lose the valuable points due to feelings of anxiety and stress. This research is also very important for those test takers whose thinking was that they can’t get their certification as a teacher because of this stress and anxiety, but now they can also feel relax. It is important that researchers should keep on doing more follow ups regarding these new findings and it will help a lot of test takers towards their success in
TEXES exam.
