Overcoming Test Taking Anxiety

Today’s topic comes from a listener question. “With your expertise on the brain, I’m wondering if you have any wisdom about how I can advise someone who says they just aren’t a good test-taker? I’ve tried to read up on test anxiety, and I know the research says the best thing is to know the material and be prepared. However, some students say there is such a great amount of material to study, they cannot keep it in their brain. Do you have any advice as to a good approach for studying a large amount of material? And… how to approach that test (to reduce anxiety)?”Lauren covers her tried and true method for learning and remembering a lot of material at once. Try-at-home tip: Filtered WaterMentioned in this episode:Epic Nalgene OG GrandeOther related resources from The Behavior Hub: Blog Post: All the Coping Strategies for Your Kiddos5 Breathing Exercises for Your KiddosPodcast:Calming & Coping StrategiesBreathing TechniquesOur Online Courses: From Conflict to Calm: How to Communicate with Challenging Children4 Simple Steps to Problem SolvingFrom Wild Emotions to Tamed Feelings: How to Self-RegulateStress, Trauma, and Behaviors, Oh My!Do you have a question?
