“The Zone” The best place to be on this chart for optimal performance is in the middle. Athletes call this “the zone”.  

What happens when your mind goes blank in a test or exam?

10 tips to calm exam anxiety Engage in deep breathing for 2 to 5 minutes Tense and relax different muscle groups Acknowledge what you are anxious about Aerobic exercise helps to release anxiety Engage in positive self-talk (e.g. “I’ll be OK, I can do this.”)

Do a “memory dump” (key names, facts, formulas) Talking too much with friends and family about the exam can make you more anxious. Self-care (sleep, eating well, social support) Reward yourself after the exam Don’t cram right before the exam. Relax in the last hour before the exam (get there early etc.)

Work with it, not against it Work with it, not against it. Acknowledging anxiety frees up your mind to focus on what you can do.
