Journal Entry - Test-taking Think about a time when you had difficulty taking a test or exam. Do anything that helps you re-experience this event. You could draw a picture of yourself in this situation, list some of the questions you had difficulty answering, or tell how you felt after finding out your score. Briefly describe that experience. Now describe how you want your experience of test-taking to change from the information that you have read about in this chapter. For example, you might write this: "I intend to go into every test and assessment I take feeling well rested and prepared."
Reducing Stress Everyone experiences stress. Many students feel stress because of the pressures of balancing many classes, assignments, and evaluations, on top of everything else that they have going on in their day-to-day lives. If you have experienced stress since becoming a student, you are not alone. Luckily, there are many ways to ease stress, such as exercising, meditating, and talking to a friend, family member, or counselor, or connecting with your Student Success Advisor. Tell me about a time when you were stressed. What was the outcome? Was it something that you should have been stressed about? What is something you have found is helpful in reducing stress?
