[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen studies incredibly hard, and gets good grades on essays and long answer questions, but due to anxiety can't do well on quizzes and similar exams. [/quote] Your teen either isn't smart or isn't studying nearly as long as they should. The whole "not good at tests" thing isn't a thing. It's just something dumb and unprepared people say to rationalize. Every local Barnes & Noble has 100+ books on study techniques.[/quote] That's pretty harsh. I had crippling anxiety in graduate school for some exams. I would spend precious time in the bathroom tossing cookies because I had worked myself up so much over the outcome. Medication and a special accommodation to permit me 25% more time on exams was all I needed to earn the highest scores in the class. Study habits did not change one bit, and I only used the extra time in one instance over 1.5 years. The fact that I had a small time buffer considerably eased my anxiety. [/quote]
