Stress Management System

Believe it or not, there are ways of quelling your stress while you're taking the exam. Two in particular can help you maintain your momentum and keep anxiety at bay.

Keep moving forward...don't get bogged down in a difficult question. You don't have to get everything right to to pass. So don't linger out of desperation on a question that is going nowhere even after you've spent considerable time on it. The best test takers know when to eliminate answer choices and make educated guesses.

Keep breathing! Weak test takers tend to share one major trait: they forget to breathe properly as the test proceeds. They start holding their breath without realizing it or they breathe erratically. Improper breathing hurts confidence and accuracy. Just as importantly, it interferes with clear thinking.

With what you've learned, you're ready to take on anything that the test throws at you. You can deal with any excess tension or stress while preparing for or taking the exam. You've prepared. You've planned. You've relaxed. You will succeed. Good luck.
