Abstract

Undoubtedly, the present is described by socio-economic, political, and socio-cultural transformations, it is these conditions that create a break with the established axiological, value-related, and normative structures of society. As a result, modern youth is faced with a difficult choice of patterns of behaviour; therefore, the development of a modern personality takes place with a sense of confusion, fear, anxiety, and stress. The most influential stressful situation for high school students is the preparation and pass of an external independent testing. The author proves that psychological stress of any origin prevents quick and constructive decisions, which leads to confusion and cognitive dissonance. Therefore, the author argues that it is necessary to introduce adaptive programmes, trainings that will develop an appropriate level of adaptation, which would facilitate the transition of graduates to a new level of self-growth, as well as feelings such as self-confidence, self-belief, and self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to determine the individual-typological features of psychological adaptation of students to the EIA. To achieve this purpose, methods such as analysis, synthesis, as well as systematisation, generalisation, interpretation, etc. were used. The empirical part of the study used, in particular, hierarchical cluster analysis, the method of group relationships, the method of comparing the mean values of the Student's T-test for independent samples. It was found that the key to successful psychological adaptation of graduates to the external independent testing is a stable personal potential. Acquired psychological competences will not only help students to effectively demonstrate their knowledge and skills during the exam, but also use them in their future lives. The author argues that it is necessary to provide psychological support to graduating students in preparation for the EIT. Professional psychological help would help reduce emotional stress and anxiety during testing, and help develop the necessary skills to achieve high results
