Test Stress-Less!

The end of the school year can be a challenging time for students in all grades. State testing and final exams can cause many students to feel anxious about how well they will perform.

Students who struggle with test-taking can take a few steps to help reduce their anxiety, such as talking with their teachers or school counselor beforehand to let them know how they are feeling and get any additional resources that may help reduce anxiousness.

Getting a jump start on studying for exams can also help reduce testing anxiety. The more prepared you are, the more confident you will feel! It is important for students to understand which study methods work best for them. Some students learn more from visual study tools like flashcards and pictures, while others may learn better through writing or listening.

In addition to practicing good study habits, research has shown that students benefit greatly from getting a healthy amount of sleep and eating healthy meals. Taking care of your body through proper diet and sleep will help recharge your mind after a long day of studying or exams.

Lastly, students should acknowledge their success no matter how big or small. If you are someone who struggles with testing, you are not alone! For additional tips on how to combat testing anxiety, you can visit the link below:
