Overcoming Test Anxiety

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you study for a test, your nerves get the best of you?

Here are some ways to work towards overcoming test anxiety:

1. Have a positive attitude and some confidence in yourself, you know your stuff and you have worked hard – YOU CAN DO THIS!

2. Keep yourself energized while studying as well as before the test by eating healthy meals and snacks and avoiding sugary foods.

3. Get a good night’s sleep. Pulling an all-nighter trying to study will only make things worse.

4. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help.
