You've attended all the classes,done all of your homework and you think you have grasped
the material.But then the day of the test comes.Suddenly,you feel so nervous that you can't answer
those questions you knew the answers to just last night.If this sounds like you,you may have a
case of test anxiety (焦虑)．
Test anxiety can be a real problem.When someone is stressed out over a test,he or she
may not be able to do his or her best work.Feeling ready to meet the challenge,though,can keep
test anxiety at a proper level.
Use a little stress to your advantage.Stress is your body's warning mechanism (装置)-it's
a signal that helps you prepare for something important that's about to happen.Instead of worrying
too much about the test,take an active way.Let stress remind you to study well before a test.Then
you'll stop your stress from being out of control.
Ask for help.Although a little test anxiety can be a good thing,too much of it is another story
entirely.If sitting for a test makes your mind go blank and causes you to miss answers that you know,
then your level of test anxiety probably needs some attention.Your teacher,your parents,or a tutor
can be a useful resource to talk to if you always get too much test anxiety.
Be prepared.Many students find that their test anxiety is reduced when they start to study better.
It works-the better you know the material,the more confidence you'll have.
