Test Anxiety
Many teens suffer from test anxiety which can lead to low test scores, considerable stress At its core, test anxiety can lead to and reinforce deep feelings of incompetence. There are predictable ways to manage and even overcome test anxiety. The problems usually come down to mastery of three things: content, process, and emotional or mental clarity.
While it’s true that some kids are more sensitive to stress and more prone to anxiety, oftentimes the problem boils down to improper studying. We tend to focus on their understanding of the actual content and the test specific reasoning process. Once students grasp these, it sets them up to be less anxious for a test.
