It is perfectly natural to feel some anxiety when preparing for and taking a test.  In fact, a little anxiety can jump start your studying and keep you motivated.  However, too much anxiety can interfere with your studying. You may have difficulty learning and remembering what you need to know for the test.  Further, too much anxiety may block your performance during the test. You may have difficulty demonstrating what you know during the test.                <img src="http://www.how-to-study.com/images/bullet2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> HOW DO I KNOW IF I  HAVE TEST ANXIETY?                You probably have test anxiety if you answer YES to four or  more of the following:                <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"><ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I have a hard time getting started studying for  a test. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When studying for a test, I find many things that distract me. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I expect to do poorly on a test no matter how  much or how hard I  study. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When taking a test, I experience physical discomfort such as sweaty palms, an upset stomach, a headache, difficulty breathing, and tension in my muscles. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When  taking a test, I find it difficult to understand the directions and questions. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When taking a test, I have difficulty organizing  my thoughts. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When taking a test, I often “draw a blank.” </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When taking a test, I find my mind wandering to  other things. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I usually score lower on a test than I do on  assignments and papers. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">After a test, I remember information I couldn’t  recall during the test.</li> </ol></li> </ol>                  <img src="http://www.how-to-study.com/images/bullet2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT  TEST ANXIETY?                  <img src="http://www.how-to-study.com/images/test.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here are some things you can do before, during, and after a test to reduce your test  anxiety.                <ol style="text-align: left"> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"><ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Use good study techniques to gain cognitive mastery of the material that will be covered on the test.  This mastery will help you to approach the test with confidence rather than have excessive anxiety. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Maintain a positive attitude as you study.  Think about doing well, not failing.  Think of the test as an opportunity to show how much you have learned. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Go into the test well rested and well fed.  Get enough sleep the night before the test.  Eat a light and nutritious meal before the test.  Stay away from junk foods. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Stay relaxed during the test.  Taking slow, deep breaths can help.  Focus on positive self-statements such as “I  can do this.” </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Follow a plan for taking the test such as the  DETER strategy . Don’t panic even if you find the test  difficult.   Stay with your plan! </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Don’t worry about other students finishing the  test before you do.  Take the time that  you need to do your best.  </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Once you finish the test and hand it in, forget about it temporarily.  There is nothing more you can do until the graded test is returned to you.  Turn your attention and effort to new assignments and tests. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When the graded test is returned to you, analyze it to see how you could have done better.  Learn from your mistakes and from what you did well. Apply this knowledge when you take the next test.</li> </ol></li> </ol>                  You have to know the material to do well on a test.  You have to control test anxiety to show what  you know.                </blockquote>
