Helping Students Manage Test Anxiety

By Meagan Gillmore

Tests and exams cause anxiety in teachers and students. The growing frequency of standardized tests and ongoing reports about mental health issues among children and adolescents make a tense situation even tenser. But teachers don’t need to be licensed psychologists to incorporate strategies that can help everyone succeed.

Both tests and anxiety are, for better or worse, a part of school life. Each has benefits. Anxiety, in proper amounts, helps increase concentration, memorization, and motivation, says Jennifer M. Cooper, an assistant professor in school psychology at National Louis University in Illinois.

“Anxiety is really designed to prevent harm,” she says. Trouble arises when anxiety interferes with a person’s ability to function. Students may not be able to avoid stress, but they need to learn how to manage it. Tests also serve a purpose, Cooper adds. They can help both students and teachers determine how well material is understood. The key, she explains, is making sure assessments are appropriate.
