SAT Subject Test Mathematics Level 1

(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1

Take a few minutes to think about the things you’ve just written down. Then
rewrite them in some sort of order. List the statements you most associate
with your stress and anxiety first and put the least disturbing items last.
Chances are, the top of the list is a fairly accurate description of exactly how
you react to test anxiety, both physically and mentally. The later items usually
describe your fears (disappointing Mom and Dad, looking bad, etc.). As you
write the list, you’re forming a hierarchy of items so you can deal first with the
anxiety provokers that bug you most. Very often, taking care of the major
items from the top of the list goes a long way toward relieving overall testing
anxiety. You probably won’t have to bother with the stuff you placed last.


THINK GOOD THOUGHTS


Create  a   set of  positive    but brief   affirmations    and mentally    repeat
them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night. (That’s when your
mind is very open to suggestion.) You’ll find yourself feeling a lot more
positive in the morning.

Periodically    repeating   your    affirmations    during  the day makes   them
more effective.

Make the Most of Your Prep Time


I   always  run out of  time    and get panicky.
I feel as though thinking is becoming like wading through thick mud.
