What do you do for test anxiety?
474922
Prepare well for the test so you know your stuff. Don't think you're competing against your peers - you're competing against yourself. Settle in before you start - sort out on your desk or table all your stuff. Then get on with it - like you are in your own world. Ignore the other people in the room - ignore the room. Do your best. If that doesn't work. Stop for a minute and think of me.

I  would  go  with this  attitude. Hey, it  is  only  $24.  It  will  give  you    exposure to  it  and  if  you  do  not pass  you   can  try  in the  next  go  round and  have the  time  to study  more.  It  would  guage  how  much, or  what areas  you  need  to study .\n\nAlso, you  never  know,  you  may  get  through the  first  time\n\nGo   For  It  and  use  positive thinking--also relax. I am a university Lecturer and  test  anxiety  is a real   problem.

Some tips for you:\n\nAsk what type of questions will be on the exam.\n\nPlan ahead. Make a trip to the testing facility a day or two before to get a sense of environment and the location of the testing room. \n\nEat a well-balanced meal before taking the exam. \n\nBring personal identification to the test site. If you know ahead of time that you don't have proper identification, contact the Office of Testing Services before arriving to discuss alternate forms of acceptable identification.\n\nMake a trip to the restroom prior to testing.\n\nListening carefully to the instructions given by the Test Administrator will eliminate most errors in marking answer sheets or misinterpreting important information given out by the Test Administrator.\n\nGood luck!

Just stay frosty and breathe. When you suddenly get anxiety attacks, tell yourself to breathe in and out deeply at a steady rhythm.   Clear your mind before you go to sleep. Remember, real great men know how to empty their minds when needed.\n\nAcceptance is another strategy. You can tell yourself to accept whatever happens and that everything will turn out fine. All the water in the world can never sink a ship unless it gets inside. So stay afloat and just go for the ride.

a lot of stress builds on a person before he takes a test. The stress builds up during the test. Because of the stress the person becomes fatigue. Advice: Spend five minutes before the test in worry mode and let it all out.

The more prepared you are for a test, the less fear you will have.  Study daily, take notes in class, write flash cards, read over your notes RIGHT after class because you forget so much during the first 24 hours of studying what you learned.

I:\n\n-write answers I have trouble with on the desk under my arm in pencil, then when the test is being distributed, I place my arm over the answers. \n\n-keep my books between my feet, leave my notes on top, and look down.\n\n-don't whisper or make hand motions to a person near you.

As a tutor, I understand how you are feeling. You might be suffering from test anxiety, which is so very common. If you feel you might be nervous when you take exams to the point where you blank out and cannot concentrate, then I urge you to start to acquire test taking skills as well as confidence boosting skills. We, for good or for bad, live in a world where your peformance and your acumen are measured under time constraints. Folding under pressure is seen as a weakness and a liability.\n\nI am sure you are quite a bright individual. If you believe you are not suffering from test anxiety, have yourself tested to see if you have a learning disability like dyslexia or dysnomia so the proper assistance can be given.\n\nI cannot stress enough overcoming test anxiety. You are in Grade 10. You will be taking SAT or the ACT pretty soon. If you apply to graduate or professional school, you will be taking the GRE, MCAT, GMAT, or LSAT. When you graduate from college and decide to apply for a job, you might have to take tests then to analyze your competencies. It seems unfair, but I tell you these things quite candidly.\n\nThe ABSOLUTE WORSE thing to do, which you are doing from reading your statement is to doubt your potential, to despair to the point that you are doing now. Students (individuals rather) learn quite differently; but the professor/teacher usually instructs in one mode which you must try to adapt to.\n\nIn the short run, grades are important, because they serve a signals (albeit biased signals) of ability. In the long run, they are not, but persistence ALWAYS is, coupled with the creativity to overcome obstacles and challenges in different ways. \n\nTo prove my point, two of the most brillant people in the world were considered failures in school: Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. Martin Luther King Jr. was horrible at public speaking in college (who knew?), and Michael Jordan was SECOND STRING when he first joined the UNC basketball team. Oh well, there you have it. If that is not inspiring enough, I do not know what is.\n\nSlight correction: I meant to say when Jordan joined his HIGH SCHOOL basketball team he was second string and eventually cut. He DAZZLED as a TARHEEL. My apologies.

take a deep breath and dive in.  answer the questions you know first and then go back over the rest.\n\nfor future reference, studying in the state of mind that you'll be in when taking the test helps (even if its a state of nervousness, believe it or not).  Also, if there's any way of studying in the room that you'll take the test in, this will help you as well.  The familiar surroundings will jog your memory.  If you cant do that, bring along a familiar pencil that you used to study with.  Stupid stuff like this actually works.

Take a public speaking class. I had really bad anxiety attacks when I had to do this, but after taking a public speaking class I do fine at it!

yea - yea. been there done that. \n\nin school my course work was c or less - my related labs were A's. Just could not take tests - the slightest distraction would throw me off. \n\ntry this: visit the classroom beofre the test to get used to the room - close your eyes and imagine your self taking the test and doing weell - think about how you feeel - think possitive thoughts. \n\nduring the test if you stress out - close you eyes and think of my massaging your breasts - just kidding ( jsut wanted to add some humor it helps ) \n\nCLose your eyes and think of white - like a white wall gently rub your eyes while closed to eliminate the stress. \n\nor alt. think about a waterfall - washign away the stress. \n\ngood luck - \nlet me know how your next test goes. I"M WILLING TO WAGER THAT YOU'LL DO GREAT \n\n(Stop a think about the email you will send to me and how excited you are feeling about passing your next test)

Dont be too hard on yourself. I've gone through this problem myself. Everytime it's exam time, I get really stressed out and think I wont do well.\nI know it's difficult to stop worrying about it especially when people have alot of expectations from you. Have a little faith in yourself and in God (if you believe in Him). Maybe your friends are going through the same thing. Talking to them could help. Or talk to your parents about how you are feeling. Take a break for a few hours and listen to some music or watch a movie to get your mind of things for a while.\nTry to get a good sleep. If you have been studying the whole year, then you are probably well prepared. Keep your options open, in case you dont get through. There's always a second time. But dont worry.\nYou have been working for it, so hopefully you will get through!\nBest of luck!

Dont go in looking too nervous, but not too cocky either. I found it is better to go for the test in the morning coz you are more tired toward the end of the day. In the actual test, just make sure you concentrate on what the instructor tells you, dont try to show off, just do what they ask. Remember to use your indicators and wait the appropriate time before entering a turn and all that. And in the event that you fail, try not to cry because it just makes you feel worse and it will not guilt the instructors into passing you. Good luck and i hope you pass!
