Anne Whitmey, a sophomore (大二学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem with taking tests when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear I couldn't think of the answers.”
The young student was experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The students can not write or think clearly because of the great nervousness. Although poor scores are often results of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes low scores. Recently test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
Special university counseling (辅导) courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their nervousness. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease and learn information which then comes out without difficulty in a test.
An expert at the University of California explains, “With almost all students, relaxation is felt after taking our program. Most of them have better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvements. With some, the improvement is very great.”
