[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DD is a rising junior. She has accommodations for anxiety. She works hard and is an excellent student. Her AP Gov teacher told her an essay she wrote was the best he’d ever read. I’m sure the essay portion was fine, but multiple choice tests kill her. She doubts herself, panics, changes answers. When she bombed her PSAT, she skipped entire sections. She even failed her learners’ permit test. Twice. I don’t know how to help her with this skill.[/quote]

I haven't read the whole thread, but I'd recommend that your daughter try to cover up/hide the possible answers on a multiple choice question, think of the answer, write it down (if possible), and then choose the closest match when revealing the possible answers.  This is very effective for helping kids who overthink multiple choice questions.

On regular unit tests, she should also consider writing down any information she's worried about forgetting (steps in a process, important dates, etc.) as soon as she gets the test.  This can take pressure off the working memory and reduce test anxiety.[/quote]
