Test anxiety can make your mind go completely blank even when you know the material. Your body’s stress response kicks in – racing heart, sweaty palms, scattered thoughts. This happens because your brain perceives the test as a threat. The anxiety interferes with accessing the information you studied. You’re not forgetting – you’re just temporarily blocked by stress.
What can help:
What to know
- Practice deep breathing before and during the test
- Skip hard questions and come back to them
- Remind yourself that one test doesn’t define you
- Prepare thoroughly so you feel more confident
Test anxiety is manageable with the right strategies!
