Test anxiety is a psychological condition characterized by feelings of fear, nervousness, or apprehension before or during an examination. It can negatively impact a student's performance and lead to difficulties in recalling information.
These techniques involve strategies like deep breathing exercises or positive self-talk that help individuals cope with stress and reduce test anxiety.
Mindfulness involves being fully present in the moment without judgment. Practicing mindfulness can help students alleviate test anxiety by increasing their focus and reducing distractions.
This technique involves identifying negative thought patterns related to exams (e.g., 'I always fail') and replacing them with more positive and realistic thoughts (e.g., 'I have prepared well').
