overcoming test anxiety 🌱

Unfortunately, test anxiety can get the best of us. Here are some ways to avoid it and get a good score on your exam:

◦ Study efficiently – the best way to reduce your test anxiety is to be prepared. Figure out what study hacks work for you and how you learn best. How do you retain the information? Reinforcing what you learned will lead to you being confident in your abilities.

◦ Recite the info – Reading your notes out loud can help with retaining the content. Record yourself reading your notes and listen to it back like a podcast to reiterate. You can also discuss with a study group and have each other explain different topics so you hear the lessons from different perspectives.

◦ Practice questions – Another way to prepare for an exam is to pretend you're taking it by using practice questions. If they aren't already provided, ask your professor if they could supply you with some sample questions, similar to what could be asked on your test.

◦ Calm yourself down – Become familiar with what calms you down. Is it your favorite song? Affirmations? Breath work and meditating? Avoid caffeine if you can to avoid any more stress.

YOU GOT THIS!
