     What Makes Anxiety Happen?

     Well, because we can't outlaw tests, we might as well figure out how to ease test anxiety. Anxiety is a

feeling a person gets when he or she expects something stressful to happen.

         1    A kid might think, "What if I forget everything I know?" or"What if the test is too hard?" Too many

thoughts like these don't leave much room in your mind to concentrate on remembering the answers to the test

questions. People with test anxiety can also feel stressed out by the physical reaction and think things like

"What if I throw up?" or"Oh no, my hands are shaking."

     These thoughts can get the person even more upset, making the anxiety even stronger. Now, the person

feels worse and is even more distracted and unable to concentrate.

     What Can You Do?

     You might be reading this article and saying, "Hey! That sounds just like me!" If so, we're glad you

recognize that this happens to you.    2    Here are some ways to do that;

     ☆Ask for help

     Talk to your mom or dad, your teacher, or your school guidance counselor (辅导员). Just talking to

someone about test anxiety can make you feel better. Describe what happens to you when you're taking a test

and these people can help you figure out some solutions. For instance, learning study skills can boost your

test-day confidence.

     ☆   3    Pay attention in class. Do your homework.

     ☆Expect the best   4   Say to yourself,"I studied and I'm ready to do my best."

     ☆Block bad thoughts Watch out for any negative messages ("I'm no good at taking tests" or"I'm going to

freak out if I get a bad grade"). These thoughts can make anxiety worse and make it harder for you to do well

in the test.

     ☆Accept mistakes

     Everyone makes mistakes and be more forgiving of your own mistakes, especially if you prepared for the

test and are set to do your best.

      ☆Take care of yourself

     You'll feel your best if you get enough playtime, sleep, and nutritious food. This is important all the time,

but be extra-sure you get all three the day before a test.

     ☆Breathe better

     Did you know that breathing exercises can help calm you down? (Just try not to take in too much air

because it might make you feel dizzy.) Here is how to do it.   5    Do this two to four times and you just might

breathe easier the next time you're taking a test!

A. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then breathe out slowly through your mouth.

B. Be prepared

C. Take food and nutrition into consideration.

D. Once you have prepared, think positively.

E. Focusing on the bad things that could happen can make a kid feel more worried.

F. He might often think about what would happen to him.

G. Now you can start taking steps to lessen your test anxiety.
