[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP, we came from public. Trust me, in our case at least, it was much easier in public. Low scores had a grade cap and tests could be retaken for at least some additional credit. When 1 test counts for 30-60% of your grade it is not soft. In the class with the F he had a high A quiz score to balance out the test and his grade dropped by 13 points which is significant. [/quote]

Ok, this helps paint a better picture.  It's not test anxiety if he gets a high A on a quiz.  He's not preparing for some test appropriately.  I would approach very unemotionally and calmly at a time when he is calm.  Why do you think this is happening?  What is your plan to fix it?  How can we support and what do you need from us?  Sounds great.  If you get another F, here are the things that will happen on our end.  I would start with limiting screens heavily, next limit social stuff, and last pull the sport.  Say what you will do and mean it and do it.[/quote]

Thanks, so you think if there was actual test anxiety that even a well prepared for test/quiz would go badly? The one with the A was all math and the F was mostly recall. (science class) Not sure is there if that matters.[/quote]
