Test Anxiety

One of the most common forms of math anxiety is math test anxiety.

Math test anxiety most often appears initially as a "mental block" on a particular problem--often one that the student "knew" how to do moments before the test. Worry over the original problem can lead to more generalized worry and negative self talk, which can sabotage the student's overall test performance.

The main cause of mental blocks is inadequate test preparation. In order to avoid mental blocks, it is necessary to prepare thoroughly for a test.
