Set the Stage for Success. Avoid Test Anxiety by Being Prepared!

 

Test Preparation really begins the first day of class. When studying, cover all the material taught in class as well as work assigned from your textbook.  If you don't wait until the night before the test, it is very possible to cover all the material.

 

Before the test . . .

•   Find out what kind of test you are going to take by asking your instructor.
•   Review past exams.
•   Predict test questions.
•   Complete some pre-tests if available and practice test taking.
•   Prepare appropriately for tests involving problem solving or essays.
•   Attend a review session, if one is offered.
•   Go to bed early. Do not pull an all-nighter or cramming session before the test.
•   Eat a healthy meal before the test.
•   Come to the test with everything you need: pencils, calculators, and other supplies.
