No More Test Anxiety addresses the jitters, panic, knocking knees and sweaty palms you and tens-of-thousands like you suffer when it's time to study for, or take an exam. Those terrible sensations are your body's way of saying you've become "uptight" and "stressed out." The mind-numbing, hear throbbing discomfort is what keeps you from thinking clearly and doing your best. What you've got is all too common. It's called test anxiety.
Putting You Back in Charge The problem is more than simply a case of worrying about an upcoming exam. It is quite natural for you to be nervous before an important test.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No More Test Anxiety : Effective Steps for Taking Tests & Achieving Better Grades (1st Ed. w/ Audio CD) (Paperback)
I'm a college psychologist counseling both "regular" and "disabled" students. Test anxiety is a major problem for everyone. I've used "No More Test Anxiety" extensively with our students. The principles are sound, empirically verified and presented in a user-friendly fashion. The study skills review is good, as is the section on memory enhancement. What really makes this book stand out is the addition of an audio CD of relaxation and guided visualization exercises focused on reducing test and study related anxiety. It's the difference between reading a book about exercise and being led through a session by a trainer. Telling about something is good, practicing it is better. - Dr. Laura
