A child who did not perform well in the unit test but exploded in the final exam

I don’t know if there are any middle and lower grade children around you who have such a situation: some children usually have average grades in exams, but can do very well in the final exams; Some children may do well in exams but not perform well in the final exams.

There is such a child around me, call him A, he is in fourth grade.It is difficult to see his name in the class group for praise, and the child’s self positioning is not in the first tier.However, as long as it is a final exam or other major exam, there are always the top three in the class, and the later the exam, the better every semester.

A’s mother talked to me and said that her family is a bit different from others: they never review for unit tests, and they test their children as they learn.Her logic is as follows: exams are a part of learning, and unit tests mainly serve to expose children’s weak points in learning and accumulate exam experience for them.

If you do well in the exam, it’s natural to do well.If you don’t do well, it’s enough to analyze the reasons and find targeted question types for training after the exam, without spending too much time on indiscriminate review for unit tests.

I agree with her logic, but she has higher requirements for the child’s basic situation.Firstly, children and parents must be of a calm and indifferent type, able to firmly hold onto their beliefs, not be anxious about short-term achievements, and have underlying confidence.

Secondly, one must be a child who can handle things clearly, stand firm, and has requirements for themselves.With the premise of parents’ leniency and trust, the child has self motivation.It’s hard to say whether it’s because Yun Danfeng has raised the child better and better, or because raising a good child always makes people feel particularly indifferent.It can only be said that they complement each other and eventually form a positive feedback smoothly.

I asked her if she would help her child prepare for the final exam?She said she would, accompanying the review and sorting out the key points of the entire semester, pulling out the mistakes in unit tests and teaching aids, and sorting them out again, so that the child can explain the ins and outs of each question clearly and do enough homework, but also not emphasizing the importance of taking good exams.

.She believes that all truths are useless when others say them, and only when children realize them themselves can they truly recognize and persist.In the past three years of ups and downs in exams, A has gradually understood the importance of reviewing, error books, and summarizing exam points.

He knows very well what’s going on and is now gradually on track in fourth grade, with much less fluctuation in regular tests.As for children who usually do well in exams but fail in the final exams, there are various reasons, and I have observed two reasons.1.

I was pressured to do many questions before the exam, all of which belong to short-term memory.After the exam, I collapsed and couldn’t learn enough by the end, so naturally I didn’t do well in the exam; 2.Mental breakdown, spending too much effort preparing for exams, being too eager to do well in big exams, and being overly nervous.Have you encountered any other situations before?
