All students feel some level of anxiety when it comes to taking tests, but for some students the anxiety is so intense that performance drops.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Did I prepare well for my test? Do I need extra tutorials ?
- Did I do test reviews?
- Did I cram instead of taking my time to prepare properly?
Do you have the 3 P's ?
- Poor me ( I never do well on tests )
- Poor preparation ( I don't take the time I need too do well on tests )
- Poor performance ( I can't seem to focus and believe I can do well )
Well you CAN change how you do on test and STOP avoiding. Face you fears and you will feel better.
You may need some help to change your feelings regarding tests . You can talk to your School Counsellor anytime regarding your fears.
