As we progress through the education system, the value that these tests carry becomes higher. Most of us feel a bit nervous on the day of a test. This is actually a healthy response. It shows that you want to do well. However, there are some that suffer from test anxiety. It can be so bad that the person is crippled mentally. Some draw complete blanks and are unable to perform well on their tests. In this article, we will offer advice on how to beat test anxiety. Step1 Step2 Step3 **LOOK AT THE STYLE OF THE QUESTIONS**. Get the ones that you know, or feel most comfortable with out of the way first. Once you have finished then go back and attempt the others. Pace yourself well. Don't spend too much time in any one area. Running out of time half way through the test will not help you pass. Step4 **DON'T PANIC WHEN YOU SEE QUESTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW**. Simply skip them and return later. Make sure you concentrate on what you do know, and don't fret over questions you can't answer. Step5 **GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP BEFORE THE TEST**. Many educational psychologists claim that you shouldn't even study at all the night before. Relax and enjoy yourself. If you must study then just review key points. If you don't know it now then you are not likely going to learn it overnight.
 * SPACE YOUR STUDYING OVER SEVERAL DAYS **. For large exams such as mid-terms or finals, several weeks are likely going to be needed. Cramming the night before will not help and will add to your test anxiety. Review in small doses and then increase gradually as the weeks progress. You'll be surprised at how quickly things start to come back to you.
 * READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY **. It is amazing how many students fail to do this and start straight in on the questions. This leaves one vulnerable to mistakes. It also wastes time as questions may have to be re-done. Read through the instructions, making sure you understand.
