Test Anxiety Treatment

Test anxiety is a psychological state of feeling extremely nervous when taking an exam or test. It can cause a person to become completely mentally debilitated with the inability to focus, concentrate and remember information to answer the test questions. Regardless of many hours of study and preparation, this condition can destroy a student’s grades, education and career goals.

Test and exam anxiety is often accompanied with physical symptoms, such as:

  • Sweaty palms
  • Racing heart
  • Shortness of breath
  • Panic or anxiety attacks

After experiencing this event, the condition can worsen with future test taking, as anticipation anxiety increases, and every failed test memory adds more fear-fuel to the next testing event.

Causes of Test Anxiety

Test anxiety is considered a type of performance anxiety. The uncertainty of one’s ability to either pass or score high on a test overwhelms the mind causing it to go “blank”.

There are many different possible causes of test anxiety. The test taker is often affected by one or several of the following:

  • Fear of failure and thoughts of the consequences of a poor test performance.
  • Previous experiences of poor test outcomes create a phobia-like expectation.
  • Lack of preparation and study.
  • Poor study habits.
  • Fear of being negatively judged by others, including parents, peers, teachers and professors.

Test Anxiety Treatments

The most common treatments are medications and cognitive behavioral therapy. This author believes these methods are not adequate, un-advisable and only partially effective. Here’s why:

Medications are often prescribed to relax and calm the test taker before and during the test. Unfortunately, they can have side effects that can interfere with mental focus. Drugs cannot cure test anxiety, but only curb a symptom.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is usually recommended by medical doctors along with the medications they prescribe. This type of psychotherapy counseling requires many sessions and can become very frustrating for students of any age. Most of the time, the therapist is a marriage and family counselor by education, not an expert in anxiety treatment.
