Managing Test Anxiety

Do These Things:

• Get your sleep the night before the test
• Eat a light snack before your exam (food = brain power)
• Some light stretching to work on your physical stress
• Drink water
• Set an alarm
• Have a celebratory dance party when you are done

Do NOT do these things:

• Stay up all night cramming.
• Take your exam on just coffee (if you are nervous or anxious only having coffee can make it worse)
• Sit in the same position for five (5) hours straight
• Forget your calculator
• Accidentally set your alarm for PM and miss your test
• Invite other people over for the dance party (social distancing is still in effect)
