Test Anxiety

I am skeptical sometimes when students tell me they get "test anxiety." I know it is a real phenomenon for some, but like many other ailments, it can be over-diagnosed. Even if you are pretty sure you really have it, there are things you can do to help yourself. Try reading this page on overcoming test anxiety and how to study for tests. It really might help.

One positive way to look at the situation, is that if you really do have this "problem," for one thing it means you care enough to get nervous. In the long run, this fact will likely serve you well if you are willing to work hard to overcome it. Taking advantage of test study sessions offered is one way to help some as well. Finally, do not be afraid to talk to me about it.
