coping with test anxiety

coping with interfering thoughts
By making a situation specific and concrete, worry can be reduced to a large extent. E.g. instead of "I can't do it" it becomes clear what you can do and what you can't. The situation becomes clearly-structured and more controllable. You can deal with the matter beforehand, by e.g. establishing exactly what you know before the test actually takes place. The same holds good for e.g. "I am afraid I am going to panic". You will find out that you are very nervous just before and at the beginning of the test. Bear that fact in mind. By so doing, you will be able to come to another conclusion about yourself as a test candidate and about the test situation. If you do so on a regular basis, you won't worry so much or so often.
