Are you worried a bad exam score will derail your education and future career aspirations?

擔心考差會毀了你的學業和未來職涯規劃嗎？

程度副詞

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com Just because you can retake many major exams like the sat, act, mcat, or lsat, never look at these major tests as a practice round.

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com 雖然 SAT、ACT、MCAT 或 LSAT 等許多重要考試都可以重考，但千萬別把這些大考當成練習。

It's far better to aim for your best the first time.

第一次就全力以赴會是最好的選擇。

That said, if something does go wrong and you find yourself with a score you're not proud of, please this video will provide you with the strategies you need to bounce back after a bad exam.

話雖如此，如果真的出了什麼差錯，分數不如預期，別擔心，這支影片會提供你考差後如何重振旗鼓的策略。

We'll focus on the MCAT for many of our examples, since, after all, we are med school insiders.

我們會以 MCAT 為例，畢竟我們是 med school insiders。

But every one of these strategies can be applied to any standardized exam or major test.

但這些策略中的每一個，都能應用在任何標準化考試或大型測驗上。

The first critical step is to not react right away.

第一個關鍵步驟是不要立刻做出反應。

You must take time to reflect before taking action.

你必須花時間反思，然後再採取行動。

Receiving a low score on a major test is a tough blow, there's no doubt about it.

在大型考試中拿到低分，無疑是個沉重的打擊。

After all those months of studying, you still weren't able to secure a score you're proud of.

畢竟經過了好幾個月的準備，你還是沒辦法拿到讓你滿意的分數。

Your instinct will likely be to take action.

你的直覺很可能會是立刻採取行動。

You might want to retake the test if that's an option, email a professor or immediately sign up for tutoring.

你可能會想重考，如果有的話，或是寫信給教授、馬上報名家教。

But it's vital that you do not rush into anything.

但關鍵是，你絕對不能倉促行事。

Signing up for the next available test date before you know how much prep you need or frantically begging your professor for a redo while you're in an emotional state will will not do you any favors.

在還沒搞清楚自己需要多少準備時間，或是情緒激動時，就急著報名下一次考試，或是懇求教授重考，對你一點好處都沒有。

If you end up surprised by bad test results, take a short bit of time to allow yourself to be upset.

如果你對糟糕的考試結果感到意外，那就花點時間讓自己難過一下吧。

Instead of pushing away these feelings, let yourself experience them so that you can process and move forward.

與其壓抑這些情緒，不如讓自己去感受它們，這樣你才能處理並繼續前進。

Not living up to expectations is painful, but

沒有達到預期是很痛苦的，但是

if you force these feelings down or deny them, they can cause you to make rash decisions or lash out at yourself or others.

如果你壓抑或否認這些感受，它們可能會讓你做出衝動的決定，或是遷怒於自己或他人。

Take the time to process and reflect on where you may have gone wrong.

花點時間好好處理和反思你可能出了什麼問題。

Accept the reality of your situation before making any decisions.

先接受你目前的狀況，再做任何決定。

Another common mistake students make is not trusting themselves and reacting rashly.

另一個常見的錯誤是學生不相信自己，然後衝動行事。

Students are often quick to void an mcat, for example, after missing a few questions without thinking about the consequences of throwing away that exam.

學生們常常在MCAT考了幾題沒寫好後，就急著取消成績，卻沒想到這樣做會帶來的後果。

Remember, retaking the MCAT is a huge time commitment.

記住，重考MCAT需要投入大量的時間。

Did you actually completely bomb the test or did you simply miss a few questions?

你真的是考得一塌糊塗，還是隻是錯了幾題而已？

This is when you need to put trust in your own prep and practice exam scores and only void for valid reasons.

這時候，你需要相信自己的準備和模擬考分數，只在有正當理由時才取消成績。

Next, get some perspective on your situation.

接下來，試著從不同角度看待你的情況。

If it's the MCAT you scored poorly on, remember, it's one of the most difficult standardized exams in the entire world, so don't Beat yourself up.

如果你是在MCAT考得不好，請記得，它是全世界最難的標準化考試之一，所以別過度責怪自己。

For reference, the lsat, also considered to be one of the most difficult standardized exams, takes about three hours.

作為參考，LSAT也被認為是最難的標準化考試之一，考試時間大約是三個小時。

It's a behemoth of a test that has gotten the better of thousands of applicants who came before you.

這是一場規模龐大的考試，擊垮了成千上萬的考生。

The fact that you didn't perform optimally isn't what matters.

One failure does not mean failure in the future.

一次的失敗不代表未來也會失敗。

What matters is getting back up re evaluating your study strategies and habits and doing better next time.

重要的是重新站起來，評估你的讀書策略和習慣，並在下次做得更好。

You can turn a poor exam score, whether it's the mcat, lsat, SAT, or final exam in class to to your advantage by using it to show your overall improvement.

你可以將一次差勁的考試成績，無論是 MCAT、LSAT、SAT 或課堂期末考，轉化為你的優勢，用來展現你的整體進步。

Whether you're applying to college, law school, medical school, or another competitive program, admissions committees want to see that you are committed to improving yourself.

無論你是申請大學、法學院、醫學院或其他競爭激烈的學程，招生委員會都想看到你致力於自我提升。

If you can score better on future exams or improve your overall gpa, it shows your grit, determination and commitment to learning.

如果你能在未來的考試中取得更好的成績，或提升你的整體 GPA，這就展現了你的毅力、決心和學習的承諾。

You can and should emphasize these traits in your personal essays and interviews.

你可以在你的個人短文和麵試中強調這些特質。

Did you recently go through a family tragedy or breakup?

是你最近經歷了家庭悲劇或分手嗎？

Even if you feel like you are dialed in and focused on test day, these external factors can stick in your subconscious and throw you off.

即使你覺得自己在考試當天已經進入狀況、全神貫注，這些外在因素還是會潛藏在你的潛意識裡，讓你失常。

You may consider yourself an extremely resilient person, but

你可能會覺得自己是個非常堅韌的人，但

your mind is still processing what you've been through while you're taking the test.

你的大腦還在處理你所經歷的事情，同時也在考試。

If you're even slightly distracted by something serious going on in your personal life, it can lead to a couple point decrease in these cases.

如果你個人的生活發生了什麼嚴重的事情，讓你稍微分心，在這些情況下可能會讓分數下降幾分。

A poor exam score is not a reflection of your knowledge, it's a reflection of your situation and unique circumstances.

差勁的考試成績並不能反映你的知識，而是反映了你的處境和獨特情況。

It could be that day just wasn't your day.

可能是那天就是不是你的好日子。

Flukes happen if you usually score extremely high on a specific section but missed a lot of questions on one particular test day, it doesn't mean you don't know your stuff, it means you had an off day.

有時候就是會失常，如果你平常在某個部分分數都很高，但某一次考試卻錯了很多題，這不代表你不知道內容，只是那天你表現不好。

On the other hand, if you've always struggled with a specific subject or aspect of practice tests, you'll need to put in extra energy into filling that gap of knowledge for next time.

另一方面，如果你一直以來在某個科目或練習題的某個方面都很掙扎，下次你就需要花更多心力去補足這個知識的缺口。

It is essential that you assess your strengths and weaknesses.

你必須評估自己的優勢和劣勢。

Separate the flukes from your real pain points.

區分是失常還是你真正該加強的地方。

This will tell you what you most need to focus on in order to score higher next time.

這會告訴你下次要提高分數，最需要專注的是什麼。

This information will also tell you how much work you need to put in before you are ready to retake the test.

這些資訊也會告訴你，在準備好重考之前，你需要投入多少努力。

After taking some time to reflect and assess where you went wrong, it's time to build a new game plan.

花點時間反思和評估自己哪裡出錯後，就該制定新的計畫了。

Retaking a major exam like The MCAT is an incredible commitment, which makes it a decision not to be made lightly.

重考像 MCAT 這樣的大型考試，需要極大的投入，所以這不是一個可以輕率做出的決定。

You need to decide whether or not an updated exam score is actually what's needed or if your time would be better spent on other key aspects of your med school application.

你需要決定更新的考試成績是否真的有必要，或者你的時間是否能更有效地運用在醫學院申請的其他關鍵方面。

For example, if you were hoping to score just a few points higher than you did, your time may be better spent focusing on bolstering your extracurriculars and research, as these experiences may have a greater impact on your overall application.

舉個例子，如果你原本只希望能比上次進步幾分，那麼把時間花在加強你的課外活動和研究上，可能會更有價值，因為這些經驗對你的整體申請可能會有更大的影響。

If your score is significantly below average for the schools you're applying to, you may need to reconsider.

如果你的分數遠低於你申請學校的平均分數，你可能需要重新考慮。

When you apply to medical school, it may even be necessary to seek out a third party like med school insiders to help you objectively diagnose where you went wrong and build a robust plan for moving forward.

當你申請醫學院時，甚至可能需要尋求像 med school insiders 這樣的第三方協助，客觀地診斷出你出了什麼問題，並制定一個穩健的未來計畫。

Similarly, if you scored poorly on the SATs, the keep in mind that a great deal of time and energy goes into preparing for the exam.

同樣地，如果你在 SAT 的分數不高，請記住準備這項考試需要投入大量的時間和精力。

Assess the average SAT scores for last year's matriculants of the schools you want to apply to.

評估一下你想要申請的學校去年錄取學生的平均 SAT 成績。

Do you actually need a higher score or would your time be better spent gaining extracurricular experience or improving your overall school grades?

你真的需要更高的分數，還是把時間花在累積課外經驗或提升你的整體在校成績會更好？

Regardless of how poorly you did, you still need to re evaluate your study strategies and gear them toward the sections you struggled with most while continuing to brush up on the other areas with practice questions.

無論你考得有多差，你仍然需要重新評估你的讀書策略，並針對你最掙扎的部分進行調整，同時透過練習題繼續複習其他部分。

Avoid passive study strategies that won't move the needle as quickly.

避免那些無法快速見效的被動學習策略。

If you're in a situation where you need to retake an exam, your time becomes all the more limited.

如果你處於需要重考的狀況，你的時間就變得更加有限了。

You cannot afford to waste time on inefficient and ineffective study strategies.

你不能浪費時間在那些效率不高又沒用的讀書策略上。

看看我們在說明欄連結的「最佳讀書策略排名」影片，瞭解哪些讀書策略最有效。

Lastly, use the setback as a learning opportunity.

最後，把這次的挫折當作學習的機會。

Don't let one bad exam score hold you back from your goals.

別讓一次不好的考試成績阻礙你達成目標。

Bouncing back from a bad score is just as much about your mindset.

從一次差勁的成績中恢復，很大程度上也關乎你的心態。

If you create a new plan but go in with the same negative attitude or an I'm definitely going to fail this mentality, your results will reflect that.

如果你制定了新計畫，但心態還是一樣消極，或是抱持著「我一定會考砸」的想法，結果也會反映出來。

It will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

這會變成一個自我實現的預言。

As Henry Ford famously said, whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

就像亨利·福特說的：「無論你認為自己能做到，還是認為自己做不到，你都是對的。」

Put in the work so that you can go into your next exam with confidence.

努力付出，這樣你才能帶著自信去參加下一次考試。

Complete practice tests leading up to the exam to ensure you're where you need to be before you launch into a retake.

在考試前完成模擬測驗，確保你在正式重考前已經準備到位。

If the exam you bombed isn't one you're able to retake, such as a class final, do all you can to move on Determine what went wrong, how you can improve, and

如果這次考砸的考試不能重考，像是期末考，那就盡你所能地往前看。找出哪裡出了問題，你該如何改進，

然後就讓那次考試留在過去吧。

Channel your thoughts and energy into the next exam you need to conquer.

把你的想法和精力都投入到你下一個要征服的考試上。

It's crucial to remember that setbacks build resilience.

記住，挫折能培養韌性，這一點非常重要。

The MCAT is arguably the most heavily weighted objective measurement when it comes to earning acceptance to medical school.

MCAT 堪稱是錄取醫學院最重要的客觀衡量標準。

Admissions committees believe your MCAT score is the best hard indicator they have as to whether or not you can handle the rigors of a medical school curriculum.

錄取委員會認為你的 MCAT 成績是他們判斷你是否能應付醫學院課程嚴苛程度的最佳硬指標。
