What is the best way to overcome test anxiety?

If I were you I would practice and anticipate the best. You can never be too prepared. Get plenty of good night sleep and you are fully rested. Eat a good breakfast in the morning and visualizing how well you will do. think positive about your future.

You will need to focus on stress and time management. In order to manage stress you have to manage your time wisely. <span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>

The best way to score high on the test is to Google search an online program or book that will help you study. Once you find an online lesson plan for success you can use it as a road map for studying. Otherwise, find a book to help you study and spend 45 mins a night reading through it and studying. Depending on when you test is, the first thing you will want to do is organize a studying schedule for yourself. Target studying certain sections of the test and divide them up by the weeks/months you have until you have to take it.

Prepare well; Rest well; Always believe and give your best effort; And remember, that even if you don't do well in a test, like Bob above said, its just an opportunity to make it better next time. I understand anxiety. But while it may sound philosophical, it is a wasted emotion with no particular outcome. A single bad test is and has never been the end of the world.

When I was in these situations in school, I tried to prepare from the first day of class, noting down key points the professor would highlight and I'd review these before the test, along with the normal studying needed. Getting a good rest is also important.

What I have tried to focus when taking tests is to not place to much pressure on myself. A test is simply a gauge of how you understand the test material. If you don't do well on a test, it gives you information on your progress. Having a good understanding of the materials is also very important. Many times the important skill is understanding how to take tests, so if you don't do well on a test, and you find out how the test answers were expected, you will have a better understanding for the next test. If you try to treat a test as if it is just another task, you may find the anxiety is lessened.
