The Test DAY



All tests are stressful. But, the SAT is in a league of its own when it comes to inducing anxiety. So much rides on the student’s performance. He or she has prepared for the Test for a long period of time or, at the very least, has been told repeatedly for months, of the importance of the test.

 And, just to make the stress more acute, the test is incredibly long – a three and a half hour, fatiguing and draining marathon. How does that stress influences the student’s performance? Stress can help as well as hurt performance. It can focus and concentrate the mind and screen out extraneous thoughts. But, when anxiety affects the decision making process of a student, it can negatively affect the student’s score significantly.
