Preventing and Getting over Test Anxiety

It can be a wonderful thing to help your budding academic successes put down their PlayStation and actually do some work. And really focused work at that! But what about when test anxiety stops students from working? When it becomes a huge barrier to learning? Making it really hard for them to start studying, and even worse...  when they do start studying ... making it really hard for them to actually remember anything they have worked on? John will take you through practical psychological steps and activities you can use to help students with test anxiety, and then give you a set of useable resources that you can use with your students to help prevent test anxiety happening in the first place.
