By Moise, Chester Charter Scholars Academy Healthy Highlights | I’ve experienced anxiety before I’m about to do government tests (like PSSA). Some things I use as strategies to cope and that you could do too are:

• Studying, this is the ultimate way to not flunk the test and feel confident.
• Doing your homework is another way to study too.
• You can ask your teacher for help before the test (because they cannot help you during the test).
• Get all the sleep you can before the test.

There are ways to communicate and to cope with anxiety and even build relationships, like studying with your classmates or even asking your parents for help in studying.

You can also go out with your friends to take off some of that stress. Or, you can take advice from people you know (only take the good and relevant advice). These are great ways to cope with anxiety when you’re about to take a test and good ways to build relationships while doing it.
