Question

   We've all experienced test anxiety right before a big test. When you’ re sitting at the desk,it's a little too late to manage your stress physically. 1 But the toughest test anxiety war can happen in your head. The following test anxiety tips will help get those nerves settled right before you take the big test.

   2 You may never score perfectly on all big tests and you know what? That's okay!Drop the image of who you think you should be. Before you head to the testing center,just set a realistic goal for yourself. Practice with a test booklet,so you know what you can and can't do. Part of your test anxiety may be coming from too high expectations.

   Use positive imagery. Obviously,the most relaxing place in the world is not a classroom. But you' 11 be surprised how much test anxiety you will reduce by just imagining yourself being in a place without a ticking clock. For example,bury your toes in imaginary sand. 3 Listen for the lap of waves breaking against a warm beach.

   Repeat a positive phrase. 4 Since your cheering section can't sit with you during the test,you’ re going to have to raise your own morale (士气) . What is a good strategy? Try a positive phrase like,u\ can do this,” or “I deserve to achieve my goals." Who knows the result? You may just start believing it.
