EFT Help’s Test Anxiety Site

Test Anxiety is an exaggerated reaction which can stem from multiple bad experiences, pressure from one or both parents, peer pressures, poor preparation, perfectionism, and so on.

     Physical symptoms include                                                                  Mental symtoms include

 
  • Headache
  • stomach ache
  • nausea
  • diarrhea
  • shortness of breath
  • excessive sweating
  • rapid or pounding heart beat
  • dry mouth
  • lightheadedness

All of this leads to “going blank”, “freezing”, and poor performance
  • Negative self-talk
  • Frustration
  • Fear of Failure
  • Random thoughts
  • Inadequacy Feelings
  • Forgetfulness
  • Decreased Self-esteem
  • Expectations of catastrophe
  • Confused Reasoning
  • Reduced Working Memory

Let’s face it, tests are important.  They represent a quantifiable measure of knowledge or skill, and can actually make or break your dreams depending upon the level of the exams.  Doing poorly on the Bar Exams, or on the Medical School Admissions Exams, for example, can sidetrack your life from what you had hoped for.  Failing a State Board Exam can mean losing precious time and money and could mean months or even a year before being able to retake the exams.

But before you get to that point, of trying to start the launch of a career, you very likely had Test Anxiety going back as far as you can remember.  Perhaps even grade school, as studies show Test Anxiety in 3rd and 4th graders, and it only gets worse in Junior High and High School as you become even more self-conscious.
