Test-Taking Anxiety

Well this is a good "back-to-school" topic, so I'm sorry if this scars you because it's summer, but I just started school last week, so, those in school, I need help. I have a fear of taking tests, and I'm sure everyone has had this at some point, but I just get so nervous when taking tests. I blank out, I sweat during the test, and worse, I just remember all the answers right after the test is finished. No matter how hard I try, I can't study well enough to feel confident in myself to do it.

With that, is there any way any of you study for a test or gain confidence for these kinds of things?

 

I never study.
I just usually pass a test with a B at the lowest without studying so I just don't study.
Even for SBAC I never studied.
Anyways, what helps my friends is repetition. By repetition I mean the cornell method. I bet you probably know what that is, but if you don't, it's a note taking format that helps you memorize notes and concepts by repeating and going over the notes you took.
What helps me when I have to memorize a poem or something for english is I write it down.
I had a 75 line phrase to memorize in english, I didn't even start trying to memorize it until the day before presentation. To be honest, I just wrote it down a couple of times and put it into phrases and I got an A+.
If you don't like writing, have someone say it to you. Sometimes that works.
