Test-taking can rattle even the smoothest student. Kids can feel like they’re heading into a vast unknown, hostile territory when they walk into the classroom and face that exam. Before your child gets all Ernest Shackleton on you, assure him or her that there are ways to tame that test anxiety and “show what you know”. This week, we consulted with two top learning experts and combined our superpowers to share with you our top 10 tips for overcoming test anxiety and preparing effectively for tests.
First up, tips from Bobbi DePorter, president of Quantum Learning Network, an educational company producing programs for students, teachers, schools, and organizations across the United States and abroad. Bobbi created SuperCamp, one of the leading academic summer camps in the U.S. and abroad. It is designed to teach students learning and life skills in an environment that cultivates self-esteem and confidence.
Next, we feature some test-taking wisdom courtesy of Lisa Jacobson, founder of Inspirica, which has provided individualized tutoring and test preparation to thousands of students since 1983. Inspirica has offices in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, as well as online options for students anywhere in the world.
Finally, our own Beyond BookSmart Executive Function coaching perspective on test preparation. In 1:1 sessions with our students at their homes or online via Skype, we’ve helped hundreds of students learn how to study and manage their time more effectively. Study skills, time management and test preparation strategies can help a student overcome test anxiety.
Now you have the choicest nuggets of knowledge about overcoming test anxiety from three sources who are experts on learning and test-taking. If your child
gets anxious before tests or doesn’t know how to study effectively, sit down and read through the list together. Chances are, you'll be able to identify one or two that he or she may be willing to commit to trying in the weeks ahead.
