Take Control of Your Test Anxiety
Fortunately, there are numerous effective techniques for dealing with test anxiety, including visualization, breathing exercises, and transforming anxiety into excitement. If you believe test anxiety has been preventing you from improving your GMAT score, it’s worthwhile to investigate these options. Of course, a great way to reduce test anxiety is to know GMAT quant and verbal like the back of your hand. The more familiar you are with the subject matter, the more relaxed you’ll be when you’re tested on it. In fact, knowing the material inside and out is the most underappreciated technique for overcoming test anxiety.
If you are already confident in your ability to answer GMAT questions, go ahead and practice some more! Prepare yourself to the point where the material no longer causes anxiety. Here is an excellent strategy for becoming familiar with GMAT content: Don’t just practice until you’re able to answer questions correctly; practice until you’re virtually unable to answer questions incorrectly.
