HOW TO BE UP AGAINST for UNAS

UNAS (Ujian Nasional) is always makes scary of the students who didn't enough prepare of their condition, especially for their psychologist factor. So many ways to get the solution of these factors.
Why the students usually get nervous if UNAS will begin?. The dominant factor of this condition is from the students self who describe if UNAS is very big event. Actually UNAS is evaluation for the ability of the students and the ability of the teacher.
May be The first factor which make the students get nervous is they have dream that can't graduate from their Senior High School, and there is no body who will not help them to get good mark of their lesson. The second, they didn't have more confidents about their ability because in their class they always get bad mark. So may be they have desperates to get this problem and they confused about the solutions. The third, If any free time (break time) at their school,They didn't have activities for solving their problems, for example: more like chatting with their friends than discussion about their lesson, more like using their mobile phone than solving their problems to their teacher. fourth, the teachers are not near with them, it means the teachers rarely care with them to solve their problem.
I think the important think to get solution for the students, the first is the students should be more confident with their ability, the second, they should be initiative and try to solve more exercises about their lesson for example: exercises in other reference, the third, the students always sharing with their teacher (don't be shy with your teacher), the fourth, don't forget Pray to ALLAH. while we are the champions or the winner so we must remember ALLAH, because ALLAH can make our life is more LIFE.
