Tips for Coping With Test Anxiety

Test anxietyA bit of nervousness before a test can be a good thing. It's only when it gets out of hand that it's a problem. The following tips can help overcome feelings of self-doubt.

  • Make sure you are adequately prepared. Give yourself enough time to learn the material.
  • Get a good night's sleep. Adequate rest is more beneficial than studying until late.
  • The day of a test, be sure to eat a good breakfast. 
  • Arrive early. Feeling rushed will amp up feelings of nervousness.
  • Keep a positive mental attitude. Visualize success and replace negative thoughts with positive ones. If you find yourself becoming anxious, stop and regroup.
  • Sometimes, a few quick answers can be used to get the ball rolling before turning to more difficult questions. Always read directions carefully.
