Test Anxiety

Tests fucking suck. no one likes them and you don't ever learn anything from them... well that's not true. It's very possible to learn a lot from cramming for a final. But like I had mentioned before test taking does suck. I wish that everyone could have their own stress folder where they can store all their stress and empty it into the middle of nowhere when it gets full, which for a lot of people, it would have to be emptied out 3-4 days a week. Doing some research, I do have stress anxiety and it's no good. I wonder if you could get prescribed tripy medication for that...?? It's considered a disease... why not?

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE TEST ANXIETY? (Not that you wouldn't know)

You probably have test anxiety if you answer YES to four or more of the following:

1. I have a hard time getting started studying for a test.
2. When studying for a test, I find many things that distract me.
3. I expect to do poorly on a test no matter how much or how hard I study.
4. When taking a test, I experience physical discomfort such as sweaty palms, an upset stomach, a headache, difficulty breathing, and tension in my muscles.
5. When taking a test, I find it difficult to understand the directions and questions.
6. When taking a test, I have difficulty organizing my thoughts.
7. When taking a test, I often "draw a blank."
8. When taking a test, I find my mind wandering to other things.
9. I usually score lower on a test than I do on assignments and papers.
10. After a test, I remember information I couldn't recall during the test.*
