There are many decisions that you will have to make during the course of your undergraduate career. Some of these decisions include choosing which college or university you will attend, choosing which programs you will participate in, choosing which thesis subject you will major in, and choosing which extracurricular activities you will participate in. In many ways, each of these decisions are more than just a random choice. You are taking an enormous amount of time and energy into each decision that you make. It is imperative that you fully understand how much time and energy you are investing in each decision that you make.
One of the most effective ways to gain a competitive edge over the other applicants who will appear on the same admissions panel is to increase your confidence in your ability to make decisions. How do you go about doing this? The first step is to take your test very seriously. You must feel absolutely confident that you made the right decisions. This is often difficult to accomplish when you are facing tough decisions. However, if you allow yourself to feel confident in your ability to make decisions, you will find it much easier to ace your decision making section.
In order to do this, you should begin to formulate strategies for answering the tougher questions on the admissions forms. Take my tests-taker guide and develop strategies for choosing which answer choices are the most beneficial. Then, you should put these strategies into action during your test preparation. During the tests that you take, you should not hesitate to apply the tested strategies. You will need to apply the tested strategies again during the tests that you take.
When confidence is a limiting factor, you should give yourself some time. Confidence is something that you build over time, not overnight. You cannot become confident in your abilities and your answers simply by taking my test or reading my materials. If you want to become a confident test taker, you will have to give yourself at least a few months (a year or so) to build your confidence. Don’t let anyone tell you that you should not wait for this time!
Uncertainty can be paralyzing. It is a fact that when there is uncertainty, fear oftentimes accompanies it. Fear is a natural reaction. However, when there is uncertainty, you are less likely to act on your uncertainty. Uncertainty is a good thing because it forces you to make choices that you otherwise may not have had the time or the inclination to make.
When you become familiar with your uncertainty, however, you will be able to use it as a tool to enhance your confidence. In other words, rather than viewing your uncertainty as a flaw, you should view it as a growth. The more you understand and feel your uncertainties, the easier it becomes to deal with them. Eventually, these decisions will become second nature to you.
Take My Decision Making under Uncertainty. It is important to be able to trust your decisions. Uncertainty can sometimes be your friend. When the time comes to take an important decision, having confidence in your decision-making ability will allow you to make your decisions confidently.
