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

So, there was this one time, in school, when I studied for a final. Well, really I just wanted to get to know one of the girls in my study group. But you know... they talked about the final there. I did that... once... or three times.
What is this... anxiety you speak of? I never really worried about finals.
