I would call it failure of society and the pressures it exerts.

good question.. i was in a psychology class and one of the girls pretended 2 have a seizure... i freaked... but out of like 30 people only 2 in the whole class came 2 the rescue and tried 2 at least help prevent a head injury... i was one of the 2 and when i found out the professor had let her do this i was furious.. scared me 2 death.. but i do think alot of people are afraid 2 help others... i mean used 2 kids could go where ever whenever they wanted but times have changed and we hear about crazy scary crimes on the news and everywhere so i think probably is the fear that is the biggest reason..

Because you're nervous, anxious, you feel guilty about trying to sleep rather than studying.. let's see...\nYou just want the next day to arrive so you can get the test over with...\nNeed I say more?\nIck, I hate final exams.

The distrust or fear of those who are different is part of the human condition.Most of us have been guilty at some stage to some degree. By recognising we have the potential to be prejudiced and /or biased in our thoughts and deeds we can at least be aware and at least try to to eduucate and nurture ourselves and our children out of something that has been inherent for thousands of years.

I didn't used to be like that, but lately I have been having a similar experience.  I think, for me at least, its because my life is going through a lot of changes, and I'm experiencing a lot of stress due to that.  I think its my mind's way of playing out my fears, since they are constantly on my mind.  I would suggest you try a cup of chamomille tea before you go to bed; it works wonders for me.

I honestly dont fear very much, But one thing that scares me so much is failure.

When I went for my hazard perception test, I was really worried I had one of those practice disks and I just couldnt pass it. I asked the gentleman there, how often do you need to click the mouse to fail the question as I was really paranoid. He said between you and me, you have to press it a ridiculous amount of times to fail the question, it has to be obvious your not doing it properly. So I clicked away when necessary and I passed it.\n\nLots of luck anyway x x x x

The victums feel guilty in our society we have a way of making them defend themselves and their actions instead of blaming the perpetrators. For instance why were you at that place at that time of day. And the askers are the protectors of our society. It would be very difficult to answer after being traumatized.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

Procrastination is the problem here my friend...\nWe all do that. We put-off studying till the 11th hour and then end up having to work on loads of stuff. At this point, we get scared and our heart fills with feelings of frustration, giult, & failure.\nHere's are a few references that might help...I was a chronic procrastinator...I would be scared to study. Now i am slowing getting the confidence.\nREMEMBER: There is NO substitute for hard work\nBest of Luck!!!!

I've had less than that.\n1 out of 100 people are mechanical,ruthless and without fear that can pull it off. It's all about reaction time and how you deal with the stress of the situation.\nI didn't think I was. I was always a big soft liberal.\nStill scares me that I am. I avoid these situations as I do not like this part of me.\nI suggest you do the same.\nEither way. YOU LOSE!

Everyone is afraid to lose.  But think about what being afraid really means.  Being afraid is making an agreement with yourself to feel bad, in advance, about something that may not even happen.  So if you are afraid, you are wasting your time thinking in advance about losing.\n\nThe solution is to change your thinking from "oh God, what happens if I lose?", to "how am I going to win?"\n\nTry thinking about sitting down the day AFTER a tournament, knowing that you won, and thinking about how you practiced until you were able to win.  Learn the techniques of success.  Don't take the time to fear.

This happened to me when i first started sparring. My first ever sparring match in class(12 years old, in the adult class), the dude got way to pumped up and busted my nose, like, really bad. blood spewed from my nose, scared the bejeebies out of me. He got his rank stripped and three ribs broken from a black belt who saw what happened. He left, but for about a month after that happened i would be shaking from head to toe before i got in the ring with anyone(including little kids!!) My instructor finally realized how scared i was and got a few black belts to coach me along for qa couple classes until i got my confidence back.\n\nTell your instructor what you're feeling before you spar. If He/She is worth anything they can at least give you some advice or extra drills or a more advanced student can coach you for a couple classes to help build your self-confidence. A scared fighter is dangerous to herself and to her partner, so ask for help before you set any bad habits based on your fear!

According to evolutionary psychiatry, depression must have a payoff or it would not have persisted so strongly.  One clue is the fact that it is more prevalent among women.  An interesting hypothesis is that a depressed person pulls herself out of competition with other females.  This could hae been a good survival trick going back to early humanity where killng someone because they were a competitor may have been common.

Oh, yes. It is very noticeable. They just have a hard time dealing with reality. Poor creatures. It almost makes me feel sorry for them. NOT. \nI don't know exactly what it is. Immaturity, Naivety, Ineptitude, or Lemming Syndrome (follow the leader into the abyss). I think many need anger management classes. I have a feeling that those in need of treatment will rise greatly after Tuesday.  \nI have made it a policy not to ask many questions. Why waste the points?

The exam gives a standard, easily checked way for the instructor to evaluate the information gained (and spit back out) for all participants, supposedly without prejudice.  It sounds as if you have test-taking anxiety, which is not uncommon,  but is self-treatable.  Realize that anxiety over being evaluated doesn't magically end with graduation, as we are evaluated using such tools across all life realms, throughout our adult lives.  On the upside, realizing the issue lets you begin to deal with it and overcome it's debilitating effect.  Perhaps if you envision the VERY WORST that could happen (failing the test/course), and make peace in your mind that you may have to take it over, it can help you to relax enough to let you learning successes shine through on the exam.  Good luck, and try to remember it is just one test, NOT the only predictor of your future happiness.

Nope.  You have had proper recent assessments.  Please don't  worry so.  There is no reason to be scared.  Good luck to you.  RN

here are some web sites that I found by googling test anxiety, and there were a LOT more.  Apparently a very common problem!  I'm weird, I almost always loved taking tests!
