Default Managing Test Anxiety -- Is there a cure for it?

How does one go about curing this psychological problem? Is there actually a cure to it? or Do you know anyone who experiences it? How do you manage to overcome it?




What does test anxiety feel like?

* Some students experience mainly physical symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, faintness, feeling too hot or too cold, etc.
* Others experience more emotional symptoms, such as crying easily, feeling irritable, or getting frustrated quickly.
* A major problem of test anxiety can be its effect on thinking ability; it can cause a person to blank out or have racing thoughts that are difficult to control.
* Western students are strongly encouraged to seek assistance at Student Development Services if you experience interfering levels of anxiety prior to and/or during tests and exams; if you are not a Western student, speak with a counsellor or physician about support services.
