You just found out that you have a math test on Friday. That was after the pop quiz you just finished taking. You also realize that you have a Shakespeare test in English on Friday as well. Your heart hasn't stopped racing since you went to class and turned in your quiz. Now that you think about the other exams, it probably never will. Many students feel the same way. Sometimes, exams and tests can be a terrible source of anxiety and frustration. However, a good way to combat this is to have a plan ready.

First, take clear classroom notes. Notetaking is the best way to remember what was taught in the classroom.

Notetaking and budgeting your time inside and outside of class is a good way to keep your cool and relax when it's time to study or take a test. Be prepared, and don't be scared.
