TEST ANXIETY AND ITS CAUSES!

You've participated in class, done all of your
homework, studied hard, and you think you
have a grip on the material.
But then the day of the test comes.
Suddenly, you blank out, freeze up, zone out,
or feel so nervous that you can't get it together
to respond to those questions you knew the
answers to just last night.
If this sounds like you, you may have a case
of test anxiety
- that nervous feeling that people sometimes
get when they're about to take a test.
It's pretty normal to feel a little nervous and
stressed before a test.
Just about everyone does. And a touch
of nervous anticipation can actually help you
get revved and keep you at peak performance
while you're taking the test. But for some people,
this normal anxiety is more intense.
The nervousness they feel before a test can
be so strong that it interferes with their concentration
or performance.
