I have a math test in about an hour. I get the worst test anxiety. It is not like my grades are bad. There are five tests weighed equally. The first one was a 95, and the second a 90. I thought that I was completely unprepared for this test until I worked through the review. i am getting ready to go write out the one sheet of notes that we are allowed. I have a list of things to check myself on since there are silly mistakes that I have been making.
Why do tests terrify me? I am a good test taker. This is the third college I have been to, and I am graduating with an associates in May. I am on my third major. For the 2 years that I have been here full time my lowest grade has been a B. I got a B in Kinesthiology and Myology. The next lowest grades were the B+ that I got in Anatomy and physiology, and Shiatsu2. Everything has has been an A or an A-. I have no idea why tests still terrify me.
I am sitting here writing to calm myself so that I do not freak out when I write out my notes. The silly thing is that I have the formulas running through my head that my note sheet are supposed to remind me of. I am mapping the problems out that I am going to write. I have studied hard for this test!
Thank you for letting me ramble out my anxiety.
