Overcoming Test Anxiety

"Athletes are "in the zone" when they feel focused, energized, confident, and capable of maximal performance in a seemingly effortless manner.

Similarly, academic "zoning" requires well-honed academic skills and a strong desire to develop and use these skills. The lack of these academic skills or the inability to execute them handicaps the student, while not finding the "just right level" of anxiety can send one out of the academic zone to the panic, drone and o- zones.
