The psychologist explained how parents to reduce anxiety before the exam

It is important for parents of graduates to control their anxiety before exams, as their emotional state can be passed on to children and increase stress. Focus should be on the support of the student, and preparation for the tests is better to build gradually. About this in an interview with “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” said candidate of psychological sciences, leading researcher of the Institute for the study of childhood, family and upbringing Alexander Buyanov.

Earlier, a draft of joint orders of the Ministry of Education and Rosobrnadzor with the schedule of the USE and OGE for 2027 was published. The main period of the unified state examination is scheduled from June 1 to July 9, the main state examination from June 2 to July 5. At the same time, graduates must decide on subjects before February 1, 2027, and ninth-graders - before March 1.

According to Buyanov, it is important for parents to understand the causes of their own anxiety and not transfer it to the child. Children adopt the reactions of adults not only through words, but also through intonation, facial expressions and gestures. Therefore, the psychologist recommends learning to manage emotions and demonstrate a calm, rational approach to solving problems.

The expert also advises to start training in advance, spreading the load gradually, rather than postponing classes for the last weeks before exams. At the same time, constant reminders about the need to pass the exam or OGE can only increase the tension.

“All examinations test the lessons learned. All questions are based on the school curriculum, Buyanov said.

He added that with regular attendance at classes and homework, the student forms the necessary base for passing exams. In addition, the ability to retake one subject can improve the result.

The psychologist urged parents not to perceive exams as the only determining factor in the future child. Even if the student does not receive the expected points, he will have other opportunities for admission and professional development.

Earlier it was reported that students will be left the opportunity to retake one subject at the exam.
