[quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter has test taking anxiety for sure. Her mind goes blank and she freezes. Unfortunately, she refuses to get counseling or any sort of help. She too has failed tests or finals and it's definitely impacted her grades. I don't think, in her case, inattentive ADHD is the problem. She broke down in tears in the beginning of school saying how much pressure she feels surrounded by kids who are in multiple sports and activities with a lot of AP classes. She's in a Fairfax County public high school, not private. I've worked with her on breathing techniques to at least get her mind working during tests. I'm working on her with the counseling refusal, but that's a very slow process. The performance anxiety cropped up a little during middle school, but has become more obvious in high school. I wish I had an easy fix for both of us. Just wanted to say I get it.[/quote]
