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.

I used to feel the same way. You'll be okay! I wish I could tell you not to worry about it, but I know that won't work. :)

Thank you! I am officially off to get that page of notes written. OH NO! I just realized that my calculator is in the car and I have no idea where my husband parked. Correction, I am off in search of my husband!

Believe in yourself... it helps. Know who you are and where you are going... then never walk in fear.... (It might not work with tests, and there is no money back guarantee)

Thank you! I think I did well. I never looked at the page of notes. My husband found me at the last minute and we made a mad dash out to the car. I missed him all 3 times I looked in the computer lab! One great thing about forgetting to grab my claculator is that I was focused on that and lost the test anxiety over actually working out the problems.

Thank you!

Thank you! I got a 97. I missed 100 because I typed something wrong in the calculator and never double checked it.

I appreciate it! I really do! I have taken 4 tests this week.

I have another math test today. I fear that I am nto prepared for it. Wish me luck in getting myself up to par. I only have two more and I would prefer not to have to do the project to get rid of a bad grade!

Thank you

Thank you! I think I did well but I am not sure. I have a hard time with that class because I do not like my teacher. He goes off on tangents too often and when he is on track he goes at such a snails pace that I end up with another book on my desk. The problem is that it catches up with me at the end. I look forward to this class being over, but I am happy with what I have learned. I am now figuring out what to pay on my car loan to get it paid off early.
