MATERIAL
A recurring dream many people have, whether or not they’re in school, is a test-taking nightmare. You show up for class, find out it’s test day, and you haven’t studied at all. A common fear, test-taking frequently causes anxiety for college students. This article identifies common sources of stress; how to reduce test anxiety before, during, and after taking a test; and the effects of stress and anxiety.
Realistic fears are rational fears. If you haven’t studied for a test, you aren’t ready for it. If you fail a test, you’ll have to work harder to pass a class. Realistic fears can be addressed by changing your behaviour or you’re thinking. If you know you aren’t ready for a test, how can you rearrange your schedule, clear your calendar, and manage your time better so you can get ready?
Unfounded fears are that the stories we create in our mind that intensify our realistic fears. They sound like this, “My instructor doesn’t think I’m very smart,” or “I’m not as smart as I thought I was,” or “I’m never going to get a job.” These fears can be irrational, and they can be tough to quash.
When stress triggers related to test taking show up, you can:
- Remember past successes.
- Put the test into perspective: how does it fit into the whole of your academic career?
- Use visualization exercises to picture yourself calmly taking and passing the test.
- Get a good night's sleep before the test.
- Reduce caffeine on the day of the test.
