For questions 21-25, read the article below and answer the questions. Every student's desire is to pass exams successfully. It is an undeniable fact that a diligent and self-confident student always achieves his aim. That's why most students do their best to prepare for exams well and attain their goals. But however preparation for exams is not an easy task. It mostly depends on individual characteristics of students such as psychological and intellectual qualities. Why some very good students often fail exams was recently studied by a professor of psychology. Professor Iris Fodor conducted research on the anxiety of some students before taking exams. Professor Fodor stated that many students fail exams because they become extremely nervous and cannot think logically. Furthermore, although they have studied, they are afraid of whatever is in the exam. Extremely nervous students forget everything they have studied, and some even become sick before a test. Dr. Fodor says how a student feels before a test is very important. She worked with fifty students and taught them how they could reduce their test anxiety and perform well in their exams.
