Make sure you prepare well.. sometimes anxiety comes with under preparing and getting overwhelmed on the last day. More prep time you put in ahead, more relaxed you feel on test day. List down the topics you need to prepare and put through plan to complete them. Have a schedule / daily routine for preparation and try to stick to the schedule.
Start taking practice tests well ahead of time (2 weeks for regular tests Vs 3 months for bigger one's), Self assessment always helps, based on the results, you can take a call if you have to increase your preparation or revise specific area's more .etc..
On the Test day, arrive ahead of time (at least 15 mins early). Try not to have stressfully conversations with anyone.
During the Exam, read the questions carefully (sometimes answers as-well incase of multiple choice)..whenever you feel stressed/anxious. Take a deep breath. Also remember, you are not alone in this and it is totally normal to be little anxious, it means you care about your test
All the best !

It's good to be nervous for a test as it means you care about getting good grade. The test anxiety comes when you don't know about the subject and not well prepare for it.
My recommendation is quickly go over the material 2-3 days before the test and note down things that you don't have a good grab off. With those questions, you can reach out to your teacher/professor or classmate to review what you don't know. You will definitely learn from them and the material will be fresh in your mind. Once you have a good understanding of the subject, then your feeling of the test will be easy and you should overcome the anxiety.
From my experience, I always came in 30 minutes early and scanned through those notes. This gave me the confident to take on the test.
Good luck!!!

Hi Brandi! Great question. I found this happened to me a lot in high school and college. Even now, I still get anxiety when I have a big presentation or deliverable at work. For me, what has helped most is being prepared. If you get nervous for tests, make sure you put in the time and adequately prepare. I feel most confident when I have dedicated enough time to the subject and feel like I have mastered it. I also find that if I have a friend/colleague/classmate that I can run my questions by or practice with in advance of the test/presentation that is very helpful. Remember it's normal to be nervous! With adequate preparation and believing in yourself you will master the tests!
