Test Anxiety and How to Get Past It

1. good night sleep, healthy breakfast, exercise, shower, review notes, listen to music, show up early, stay relaxed, quiz yourself with a friend, and
2. read over chapters and chapter summaries, make flashcards, make chapter questions, answer chapter questions, review with a friend, be well rested, eat a healthy breakfast, begin studying well in advance,
3. cancel out incorrect answers, make an educated guess, phone a friend, Responses that use absolute words, such as "always" or "never" are less likely to be correct than ones that use conditional words like "usually" or "probably", "Funny" responses are usually wrong, 
4. take an educated guess, whichever is the more detailed response is most likely to be true, choose the right one, 
5.Cramming for a test can actually help you retain 30% of what you reviewed and key points.
6. If you have test anxiety then you only worry about the test, whereas if you have GAD then you worry about multiple things.
