[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 160327, member: 3353"] Lisa, I am a baccalaureate-prepared nurse. Here is what I did to combat test anxiety ~ it's simple, it's free, and it works everytime. It's called a focusing tool. When you receive the test, make a small vertical line in the upper right hand corner of the first page. As you do this, place yourself where you are. Remind yourself that you are prepared to do this. Then, draw a horizontal line at the midpoint of the vertical line you have just drawn. That's right, Lisa. A cross. There is no religious connotation to this action. It truly focuses the mind on the task at hand. When I was taking the anat-phys classes (and the chemistry ~ Lord, I will never forget those chemistry classes!) this is the tool I used. It worked so well that soon, those at my lab table were using it, too. And we all, always, aced those tests. Not because we were better or smarter or studied harder (though I did study, just like you are now) but because we were focused on the task at hand. The knowledge is in your brain, Lisa. You just need to quiet everything else down so you can demonstrate that you do know it by answering the questions in front of you. That's the problem. Fear. And the answer is focus. And that is what this tool will give you. Try it. Know that I wish you well, Lisa. I took my degree at fourty-two, so I think I can empathize with what this feels like, for you. You CAN do this, Lisa. :) Barbara [/QUOTE]
