You’re not alone; being evaluated causes anxiety for most people. Here are a few things to remember or do that might make the process a little less anxiety-producing: 1. *You* aren’t being evaluated as a good or bad person; what’s being evaluated is just your skill, memory, and understanding regarding a few processes &/or concepts. 2. You’ve been preparing for a whole semester, and professors really try to make sure exams test what’s been taught. As much as it might seem like they’re trying to catch or trick you, they’re not. 3. Think of it like the olympics: what good is all that practice if you don’t get to perform? 4. Visualize success. 5. Study in short bursts with lots of breaks & plenty of rewards. 6. Study with other people & do what you can to make it fun. 7. Remember, no matter how your exams go, they’ll be over soon. If the anxiety is overwhelming, contact counseling services: bit.ly/BC-counseling. I know you can do this! Best of luck!
