Exercising for a few days before the test will help reduce stress.
Say to yourself, "I am becoming more calm, relaxed and confident while doing math."
Learn the conditions under which you learn math best and you will enhance your math achievement.
It is important to learn how to manage, but not necessarily eliminate, the anxiety you feel with math.
Don’t believe rumors you hear about the test.
Focus on the question at hand.
Don’t wait until the last minute and try to learn everything the night before.
Read the directions slowly and carefully.
Skim through the test so that you have a good idea how to pace yourself.
Avoid Obsessing about: Past performance, Consequence of Failure.
Even if math has given you problems for years, act as if you have control over your present level of success.
Get involved in the learning process and don't be passive.
Go to class regularly.
Try a practice test beforehand.
Don't worry about how fast other people finish their test; just concentrate on your own test.
If you begin to get nervous, take a few deep breaths slowly to relax yourself and then get back to work.
If you don't know a question, skip it for the time being (come back to it later if you have time).
Being well prepared for the test is the best way to reduce test taking anxiety.
Do the simple questions first to help build up your confidence for the harder questions.
Remember that you don't have to always get every question right to do well on the test.
Space out your studying over a few days or weeks.
Don't let your mind wander on other things.
If you're still experiencing extreme test anxiety after following these tips, seek help from your school counselor.
Write down important formulas in the margin first so you won't worry about forgetting them.
