Is Test Taking Anxiety getting you all stressed out?

You may want to read the previous couple of posts, for two reasons:

Time pressure is part of what causes test taking anxiety — since most tests are timed, and if you blank out you loose time too, which will only increase your stress, and that makes it even harder to function.

And the other part is the bit about needing to be in a better feeling place in order to get stuff done.

So you need to get past that anxiety and stress. But how?

Well…

Here are some options:

You could do some basic breathing and other stress management techniques.

Or get the free version of the above guide with some great stress tips.

Or you could try EFT — click here to get my FREE easy intro to EFT guide.

If you get that guide, you’ll also get ongoing tips on using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for all sorts of things, including exam anxiety, fear of public speaking, and much more.

And there’s also a fantastic program involving hypnosis that promises to calm you down and make test taking anxiety a thing of the past. I’ve checked it out and it really rocks:

Your Test Taking Anxiety Cure

Personally, I think those tools work great in combination. Hypnosis can be very effective, and the guy who has created the hypnosis program has been a professional hypnotist and therapist for a long time and has helped countless students overcome their test taking anxiety.

And chances are, it will take care of yours too. But it never hurts to have a few extra tools you can use quickly DURING the test — hypnosis might now be quite practical in that setting– just so iyou know you’re covered if the need should arise. And EFT fits the bill.

So this is the deal: Find tools that help calm you, so you can retrieve what information is in your brain.

Obviously, you’ll also need to study, or else there won’t be much for the brain to retrieve! Fortunately, the above tools will help with studying as well.

One more thing… Make sure you get enough sleep. In fact, take naps between sessions of studying, or go for walks etc. It helps make the info stick better. Really!

So do check out those tools, the free ones and also take a look at the powerful hypnosis program.

And good luck with your test!
