Practical ways on how to prepare for a test:

Give yourself reasonable time for studying. If you wait until the night before a test to begin to study, that is very likely to increase your anxiety. You will have a limited time to cover all the materials and you will not have time to ask questions or find missing information. In addition, you will most probably feel depressed, and otherwise be in a negative state of mind. 
  • Rather than waiting until the last minute, begin studying as soon as a test is scheduled by your teacher. When you have more time to prepare, you will feel more relaxed because you have plenty of time to comprehend and digest the study material.
  • Arrange a schedule to make the most of your study time. Keep aside as much time as you feel you require; it could be 20 minutes a day or it could be 2 hours a day. You can adjust this if you think you require more or less time after studying for a few days. Keep on this schedule so when it comes time for the test, you know you've prepared as best as possible.

  • Another helpful tip is to get in the habit of looking over your notes from class every day. Research has proven that students who do this get higher grades on tests because the brain absorbs information more efficiently this way. This can help with your anxiety because you'll have a head start on your preparing before you even realize a test is coming up.
  • Some students are known to make the mistake of spending more time organizing than actually studying, because actively studying is more anxiety provoking; therefore, ensure that the majority of your time is actually doing the work and studying the materials.
  • You may have to settle for the little time that you have. If so, remain calm- some studying done is better than having done none at all.

In conclusion, every person goes through a varying amount of anxiety when preparing for a test. 
If you carefully follow the above mentioned tips, test taking will become a breeze and you will be smooth sailing your way throughout your school years. Preparing for a test is an ongoing process and will greatly eliminate the fear of test writing among students.
