How to reduce exam anxiety?
• Develop motivation. You need a strong desire to study and succeed. • Practice test taking skills. Use study guides and practice questions to sharpen your test taking skills. • Be confident in your ability to pass. Self-doubt is the number one cause of exam anxiety. • Minimize distraction and stay focused. Pay close attention to details. • Make connections between newly learned material and on-the-job information stored in your memory. Use mental imagery to link the new material to your real-life work scenarios.
