Test anxiety is psychological in nature, where a student feels nervous before, during and after an exam. Anxiety is actually a normal way of reacting to stressful situations. It is a way in which our body tries to deal with stress.

Some students easily get nervous when they face a stressful situation. Negative thoughts enter their minds even if they have prepared well.

Anxiety especially affects students who are perfectionists(完美主义者) and want to achieve high scores in every test. Such students put pressure on themselves and are always tense, because they want to gain perfect scores. This may cause anxiety, as even one wrong answer can make them feel that they have done badly in the test.

Test anxiety is most common in people who have not studied for the whole term, but still want to get excellent marks. When one starts preparing at the last minute, he has lots to study before the exam, which again leads to anxiety.

What can students do to overcome test anxiety? Prepare well in advance. Studying regularly for few hours everyday, from the beginning of the year, helps in increasing the confidence of students.

Do not forget to eat and sleep properly. Many times, students avoid sleep and starve themselves as a result of anxiety. They should sleep for at least 6-7 hours a day and eat healthy food. Exercising regularly is also important, as well as talking to friends.

Plan your studies well. Draw up a time-table and take proper breaks between studying sessions. Along with the study time, make sure you include spare time to relax and enjoy a hobby.
