Students are all too familiar with test anxiety.  While we regularly remind them that anxiety only interferes with their performance and offer the suggestion to “not stress out,” this helpful information will likely fall on deaf ears unless it is accompanied by real-life hints or strategies that they can use to ease the anxiety.  So, here are a few tips from the article Beating the Stress, on managing exam anxiety: 
Ø       Do relaxation exercises
Ø       Do not work to the last minute on the night or morning before the exam
Ø       Take a few deep breaths and engage in positive self-talk
Ø       Don’t panic when others hand in their exams. Focus on your own work!

These are the tips we found most useful, but there are others in the article.  Feel free to check it out yourself at Beating the Stress. 

Our goal is to make this blog the most helpful and informative blog on Academic Success and SAT preparation. To do this, we need your help, so please give us your feedback and make comments to our blog!!
