I learned how not to think about negative things before I begin to take a test. If I do, then it well affect the way I take the test, which may lead me to lower test score.

This article was really helpful. I knew some of the information,but it also gave me some new ideas, such as when concentrating on studying I could keep a pad and paper and write down interupted thoughts and all. I think that students would benefit from this greatly!

I found this article to full of great advice, in particular with regard to the topics of improving concentration. To me it's incredibly important to make sure you that when you are working you are able to full immerse yourself in the work. Distractions, and clutter are sure ways to keep your mind off your work on your surroundings.

I have lately found myself without my regular study location on the dining room table, and this has caused me much grief in being able to study for more then half an hour. I have tried the bed, the couch, or even the computer desk and all of these areas are either too cluttered or have easy access to distractions. Make sure you set aside a place to work that is relatively free of distractions and has enough space to work comfortably.

Thank you.

My Test Stress

Dealing with test anxiety is hard for many people. Most test anxiety comes from the fear of not doing well on a test or not having enough time to study for a test. This article was very helpful to me. Not on all my tests but specifically on math tests I get anxiety. I start to second guess myself if whether or not an answer I chose is correct. I tell myself I don't know the material or "I can't do this". This article gave me tips on how to deal with my test anxiety.

Usually on the day of exams I can get nervous. Most of the time I feel like I should have studied harder or been better prepared. There are times when I put myself down saying that I'm going to fail the exam. But this article had some very good tips and I'm looking forward to follow these tips.

Anxiety

I find testing to be difficult no matter what tricks I use. I always prepare for testing the night before and arrange all my needed items in the place soI can locate them quickly when I leave. I believe no one can help me with my anxiety for testing. I will try rubber bands and other tools, like being early for class and I still find I have a mental block at times.The howtostudy guide may be helpful for some but I still can not over come my anxiety. I think it does have some good pointer.
