Questão 25

[01] Anxiety is a natural consequence of everyday
stressful events. Many students experience
some anxiety throughout their day; $\in$ some
respects it can help them
navigate difficult situations. However, anxiety
can also
[05] become severe, persistent and
counterproductive.
Anxiety can take the form of a psychological
disorder
including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic
Disorder, Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

[10] Test Anxiety
Some students may experience severe anxiety
while
taking exams. They may feel nervous and notice
themselves sweating, hyper-ventilating, and
having
difficulty concentrating. However, since test
anxiety is a learned response, it can also be
[15] unlearned.
What can I do to reduce test anxiety?
· Eat a performance meal (high protein, low
carbohydrate) while studying and before the
exam to provide optimal mental energy
[20] · Get enough sleep
· Exercise (physical energy = mental energy)
· Minimize your alcohol and caffeine use
· Use a relaxation exercise
· Study ahead of time and create practice
[25] tests similar to the format of the exam
(Multiple Choice, Essay, Concept
Application)
· Stop negative thoughts (“I don’t know
enough to pass”) about the test and
increase positive thoughts (“I know a lot of
this information; I’ll start with the questions I
[30] know”)
