  testing situations

 ▫ Charles Spielberger
• Westside Test Anxiety Scale
 ▫ Richard Driscoll
• 10 item Debilitative Anxiety Scale
 ▫ Alpert-Haber
• Reactions to Tests (RTT) Scale
 ▫ Irwin. G. Sarason
• Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale
 ▫ Cassady & Johnson
Components of Test Anxiety
• Physical Component (Physiological over-
  arousal)
 ▫ typical bodily reactions to acute anxiety: a knot in
   the stomach, wet and trembling hands, nausea or
   "butterflies in the stomach," tense shoulders and
                   back of the neck, dry mouth, and
                   pounding heart.
Components of Test Anxiety
• Emotional Component (Worry & Dread)
 ▫ involves fear or panic
 ▫ Can include depression, low self-esteem,
   anger and a feeling of
   hopelessness
Components of Test Anxiety
• Mental/Cognitive Component
  (Impairment)
 ▫ involve problems with attention and memory
 ▫ "My mind jumps from one thing to another" and
   "I think I am certain to fail"
 ▫ include fidgeting or outright
   avoidance of testing situations
 ▫ Negative self-talk
Causes of Test Anxiety
• Mental causes:
 ▫ Students’ expectations
• Biological causes:
 ▫ Adrenaline (flight-fight response)
• For many students, it can be a combination of
  things...
 ▫ Bad study habits
 ▫ poor past test performance
 ▫ and an underlying anxiety problem can all
   contribute to test anxiety.
Who’s likely to have Test Anxiety?
• People who worry a lot or
  who are perfectionists
• Students who aren't
  prepared for tests but who
  care about doing well are
  also likely to experience
  test anxiety
What can you do?
• Before the Test
 ▫ Discuss test content with the instructor and
   classmates.
 ▫ Develop effective study and test preparation skills.
 ▫ Spread review of class material over several days
   rather than cramming.
 ▫ Intensive review should be done a few days before test.
 ▫ Review text, notes, and homework problems.
 ▫ Use 3x5 cards for learning specific concepts or
   formulas.
 ▫ Take a practice test under exam-like conditions.
 ▫ Continue regular exercise program.
 ▫ Get sufficient rest and nutrition.
What can you do?
• During the Test
 ▫ Read the directions carefully.
 ▫ Budget your test taking time.
 ▫ Change positions to help you relax.
 ▫ If you go blank, skip the question and go on.
 ▫ If you're taking an essay test and you go blank on
   the whole test, pick a question and start writing. It
   may trigger the answer in your mind.
 ▫ Don't panic when students start handing in their
   papers. There's no reward for being the first done.
What can you do?
• After the Test
 ▫ Try not to dwell on all the
   mistakes you might have made.
 ▫ Do not immediately begin
   studying for the next test
 ▫ Indulge in something relaxing
   for a little while.
