Tips to Help Reduce Test Anxiety

• Study in small chunks.
• Review your notes twice a week.
• Have a positive self talk dialogue to help you get through anxiety.
• Quiz yourself after each study session. (Twice is better)
• Highlight important terms and their definitions in the book.
• Use the margins of books and notes to make notes to draw the text and the instructor together.
• Make outlines of the chapters and use them to help you study.
• Make flash cards to help you study terms, names, and dates.
• Talk to the Professor if you are having trouble in their class.
• Use the help labs on campus. (The reading lab, writing lab, and the math lab are all examples.)
• Get plenty of rest before the test.
