Muse Event #1

The muse event that I went to was test anxiety. We talked about how it occurs and what the symptoms are. Test anxiety occurs before or after a test, and occurs when stress is excessive to the point where it affects our grades. I didn’t know that test anxiety could be this bad. There are so many affects of this. Sweaty palms, rapid shallow breaths, over eat, and stop eating. I learned that cramming the night before can actually hurt you. You end you only remembering the information for a little while, not long term. So you know the material the night before, but when you take the test the next day you don’t know it. We did an exercise that was to help us relax before a test. It was a deep breathing exercise, and I think that it would help. Also, they gave us tips on how to do well on tests. For a multiple choice question always go with your first answer and don’t second guess yourself, because most of the time that is right. Make sure that you eat healthy before a test, and get enough sleep. Don’t study right before the test, it makes you unsure of yourself and stress’s you out more.
