I am always scared when I take a test. I start to get all sweaty and then, ugh- i start to get mad gas. I really need some help. How do I handle this? Because once i fart, the whole class looks at me all funny. Help Me!

Yes I do get stressed if I didn't study lol. I deal with it by thinking really hard and thinking about the common sense of that question like I remember this test question we did once for science it said: Does planets make up its own light like a star? And I was like "Well we live on Earth, earth doesn't make up its on light, it gets it from the sun, Earth is no different from the other planets, so no, planets do not make up its own light. It gets its light from the sun." And I got the question right! That is how I do it.

I dont really get nervous on quizes or test unless I get stuck on question I start to freak out! I get very nervous and anxious on big test like the OGTs which I have to take next grade! I usally try my best and take deep breaths and tell myself that I can pass and do a good job!

I always get stressed or anxious when I have 2 take a test. I think that's because I don't believe I'll do good on the test and then there's the fact that its become a habit for me to say " I can't do", "I can't do that" and so on.

Of cource I do. What helps me is when I get my test, I imagine a big A+ on it and sometimes my imagination comes true! If you are worried about a test then do what i do.

When I have to take tests, I am always very anxious and stressed out. I chew my fingernails and my face flushes red and I keep wiggling my legs as if I have to go to the bathroom. Well, I usually deal with it by answering the questions I know. That helps me because it makes me feel as if I know everything on the test. Then I do the questions I don't really know. Doing the other questions first sort of helps me with the difficuilt ones, if you know what I mean.
--Jane, 13

--Juliet, 9

Mikayla, (11), the best thing to do when you've got test stress (and this is for everybody else too), escpecially as often as you do, is study, study, study! Write it down, make study cards, be sure you're confident! Try to imagine sitting at your desk tommorrow or whenever it is and taking your test. Try to imagine the questions (a study guide helps - from your teacher or one you made yourself) on the paper in front of you. Imagine your pencil circling the answers, and your teacher handing you that A the next day! It works, and trust me, if you don't study, the stress is really going to get at you. Hope this helps somebody!

When I take tests I get really nervous that I forget what I had studied. I just get really stressed out.
