| Stupid question, but how do you deal with math tests?? Like, what do you do so you're not too stressed? Whenever I have a math test or quiz I get sooo freaked out! I had half the test today and was SO scared! And tomorrow I have the other half of the math test AND a spanish quiz. (Not too scared for the quiz ;)) Im usually pretty confident, but when it comes to math tests... well lets just say then Im not xPP So how do you cope with the stress??? And how can I convince myself that having a math test is not the end of the world, cuz thats what it feels like. Thank youuu

I am not even kidding. Yep, Makkine is right. Studying brings you stress. I heard sugar helps, try to eat a healthy breakfeast, too. |

I am not even kidding. Honestly, I've tried this too, it actually does help. If its like a serious test that you have to pass or you won't get through to the next grade or whatever, I would consider studying. | |

Well it's not even close to the end of the year, so it's definetley not the state test. If you push yourself too hard then you're just like ijsgj'SD. Memorizing facts is good, but don't push yourself. Sometimes I play games because they're easier...lol. |

She asked for a way to relieve her stress, not a way to pass the test. Though it's fairly easy to pass any test if you pay attention during class. Making connections between ideas is a much better study habit than cramming facts at the last minute. Just some help, it's always worked for me! @Mr Taost: We're having out state test the week after the next, so you never know. | |

Really? I thought state tests come at the at the end of the school year, lol. We have two, one at the middle of the year and one near the end. Those don't count for our grades, though. What we really need to do well on are the final exams, which come right before winter break and right at the end of the year. We're having our finals the same week we're having the state tests, too. Yeah, we suck u-u | |

| Try to connect the math problems with real-life situations. Think about what you're trying to do and go step-by-step thinking only of what current step you're on, then move on to the next one [step].
Stress? Calm down and focus on the math problems, not the "OMG I ONLY HAVE, LIKE, 30 MIN. TO FINISH THIS TEST. WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOO?!?!? OK OK OK CALM DOWN. BREATHE, INHALE, EXHALE. LIKE, OMGGG!!!"
Math test is the end of the world? Get over it. I used to have this problem because grades seem so important, but think about it. It's just a math test. If you're not in high school yet, it doesn't matter. Colleges only look at your high school GPA. And employers look at your grades in college [if you go. There could be a chance they look at your high school grades if you don't attend college or go for an immediate job]. If you have pretty good grades in all your other classes, failing your math test isn't so bad.
Just chill and take the test. | |

| Don't study about 1/4 of my classmates do better not studying for tests, the rest choose to study... but the next day get a lot of sleep and eat something healthy for breakfast...
Plus study only causes stress and most people actually do spend most of their time that they should be sleeping, actually studying, so when they go to school they don't really remember anything since their brain's not functioning well because of lack of sleep. | |

| go to bed earlier. Eat breakfast, but no stupid cereal get eggs and milk if possible, that's where the real food is. People say don't study,which is okay but you don't have to. Not everyone does better without studying. Get off the dam computer ;P
I can't really help because I have never in my life had anxiety about a test, usually I find test taking strategies very annoying. It just depends of the person. Don't stress out, study if need be (and seeing as it's math which is the most important subject out there I would study if I were you especially if your gut-feeling is thinking you'll fail the test).
That's about it. Like I said I never have been worried about a test, even final exams don't scare me. Just don't freak out over nothing, unless this is a major test I don't think you should worry.
