EVALUATING YOUR APPROACH TO EXAMS
Reflect on your previous approach to taking exams by responding to the following questions:
In the past, how did you typically prepare for exams? What test-taking strategies did you use?
Have you ever experienced test anxiety? If so, what do you think caused it?
How did you follow up after a positive test-taking experience? How did you follow up after a negative test-taking experience?
Now that you’ve read this chapter, consider whether you need to overhaul your test-taking approach. In the future, what (if anything) will you do differently to prepare for tests, manage any test anxiety, take tests, and follow up after the test?
