Blog #8: When Taking a test.

When it comes to test, people can get very anxious. That is very common. Especially when a student wants to do good on that test.

From personal experience, I get extremely anxious that is why this blog will be providing you with information on how to take a test and lower your anxiety level.

First, make sure you attend class so that you know all possible information on the test. By attending class you will be greatly benefited because the teacher will explain things better for the test. Second of all distribute practice. Meaning you break the learned material into small parts then study frequently. By doing this you will move the information to your long term memory and you’ll do good on your test. Third of all, find a studying method that’s works for you. It can be many things, flash cards, a mind map, or highlighting key points in your notes. Another good tip is to predict the questions. This can be easy if your teacher provides you a review. You’ll be more likely to score good in your test, if you have an idea of what can be on it. Although test anxiety sounds horrible, it can be a good thing. It can be a good thing because it can cause motivation to prepare and do good on your test. If you are well prepared, your anxiety level will go down. Also if you take deep breaths and get a good night sleep, this will help you out extremely. Finally, do not cram your studying! That will cause you to stress out about the test.
