Hi Timur, I’ve just read your message, and I’m sorry you’re feeling so stressed. First of all, please don’t panic. Feeling nervous before big exams is completely normal. I remember exactly how I felt before my university entrance exams five years ago: I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, and I was sure I was going to fail everything. I didn’t. And you won’t either.
Salom Timur, hozirgina xabaringni o‘qidim va bunchalik xavotirda ekaningdan afsusdaman. Avvalo, iltimos, vahimaga tushma. Katta imtihonlar oldidan hayajonlanish mutlaqo normal holat. Besh yil oldin universitetga kirish imtihonlarimdan oldin o‘zimni qanday his qilganimni aniq eslayman: uxlay olmasdim, ovqat yeya olmasdim va hamma narsadan yiqilaman deb ishonardim. Yiqilmadim. Sen ham yiqilmaysan.
You asked me for advice, so here are the things that helped me most. The first is to make a plan. Write down every subject and every topic you need to revise, and then divide them across the days you have left. Be realistic. If you try to study for twelve hours a day, you will be exhausted after three days. I found that five or six hours of proper studying was much more useful than ten hours of sitting at my desk looking at my phone.
Mendan maslahat so‘radingiz, shuning uchun mana menga eng ko‘p yordam bergan narsalar. Birinchisi — reja tuzish. Takrorlashing kerak bo‘lgan har bir fan va har bir mavzuni yozib chiq, keyin ularni qolgan kunlarga taqsimla. Realist bo‘l. Agar kuniga o‘n ikki soat o‘qishga harakat qilsang, uch kundan keyin holdan toyasan. Men besh-olti soatlik haqiqiy o‘qish stolda o‘tirib telefonga qarab o‘tkazilgan o‘n soatdan ancha foydaliroq ekanini angladim.
Speaking of phones: put yours in another room while you study. I know it sounds hard, but it really works. I used to tell myself I would “just check one message” and then lose half an hour. Some people use apps that block social media for a few hours, so try that if you can’t control yourself.
Telefon haqida gapirganda: o‘qiyotganingda uni boshqa xonaga qo‘y. Bilaman, bu qiyin tuyuladi, lekin haqiqatan ham ish beradi. Men o‘zimga “faqat bitta xabarni ko‘raman” der edim-u, keyin yarim soatni yo‘qotardim. Ba’zi odamlar bir necha soatga ijtimoiy tarmoqlarni bloklaydigan ilovalardan foydalanishadi, agar o‘zingni nazorat qila olmasang, shuni sinab ko‘r.
Second, don’t just read your notes again and again. It feels like studying, but it isn’t very effective. Instead, test yourself. Close the book and try to write down everything you remember about a topic, or explain it out loud as if you were teaching someone. Do past exam papers with a timer. When you get something wrong, that’s good! It shows you exactly what you need to work on.
Ikkinchidan, konspektlaringni qayta-qayta o‘qiyverma. Bu o‘qishdek tuyuladi, lekin unchalik samarali emas. Buning o‘rniga o‘zingni sina. Kitobni yopib, mavzu haqida eslagan hamma narsangni yozishga harakat qil yoki uni xuddi kimgadir dars berayotgandek ovoz chiqarib tushuntir. O‘tgan yillardagi imtihon savollarini taymer bilan yech. Biror narsani xato qilsang, bu yaxshi! Bu aynan nima ustida ishlashing kerakligini ko‘rsatadi.
Third, look after your body. Go to bed at a sensible time, because your brain needs sleep to store what you have learned. Studying until three in the morning is the worst thing you can do. Eat proper meals, not just crisps and energy drinks, and try to go outside for a walk or play football for at least half an hour every day. I always came back from a walk with a clearer head.
Uchinchidan, tanangga g‘amxo‘rlik qil. Oqilona vaqtda uxla, chunki miyang o‘rganganlaringni saqlash uchun uyquga muhtoj. Tungi soat uchgacha o‘qish — qila oladigan eng yomon ishing. Faqat chips va energetik ichimliklar emas, to‘g‘ri ovqatlan va har kuni kamida yarim soat tashqarida sayr qilishga yoki futbol o‘ynashga harakat qil. Men sayrdan doim tiniqroq fikr bilan qaytardim.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast and get there early so that you don’t have to rush. When you get the paper, read all the questions carefully before you start. If you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t waste time on it; move on and come back later. And if you feel panic, stop for a moment, close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths. It sounds silly, but it helps.
Imtihon kuni yaxshilab nonushta qil va shoshilmaslik uchun u yerga erta bor. Imtihon varag‘ini olganingda, boshlashdan oldin barcha savollarni diqqat bilan o‘qib chiq. Agar biror savolning javobini bilmasang, unga vaqt sarflama; keyingisiga o‘t va keyinroq qaytib kel. Agar vahima his qilsang, bir lahza to‘xta, ko‘zlaringni yum va uchta sekin, chuqur nafas ol. Bu ahmoqona tuyuladi, lekin yordam beradi.
Finally, remember that these exams are important, but they are not the most important thing in the world. Whatever happens, Mum, Dad and I are proud of you and we love you. If you want, I can come home next weekend and help you with maths, which I know is your least favourite subject. Call me any time. Good luck, little brother! Love, Nigora.
Va nihoyat, bu imtihonlar muhim ekanini, lekin dunyodagi eng muhim narsa emasligini yodda tut. Nima bo‘lmasin, oyim, dadam va men sen bilan faxrlanamiz va seni yaxshi ko‘ramiz. Agar xohlasang, kelasi dam olish kuni uyga kelib, eng yoqtirmaydigan faning bo‘lgan matematikada yordam berishim mumkin. Istalgan vaqtda qo‘ng‘iroq qil. Omad, ukajon! Mehr bilan, Nigora.
Tushundingizmi?
Javob topa olmasangiz, «O‘qish» bosqichiga qaytib, matnga qarang — bu ham mashq.
