Test Taking, taking tests Options

[mznikki]

Tests, are you a good test taker? or do you freak out then blank out when you get the test put in front of you?

has any one ever told you that if you see the colors pink and yellow your mind is calmer and you can do better on a test? for example one of my teachers handed out the test in yellow and pink sheets, and i see people who put pink highlighter on one hand and yellow on the other.

or that peanuts or any kinds of nuts are good for your brain to study? like brainfood? supposedly it helps you remember what you are studying better?

btw i searched and nothing came up. and if mods feel this should be somewhere else move it =]

I usually get really nervous before a test, even if I know most or all of the material well. I tend to second guess myself often as well. And because of my nervousness, I end up not reading the question properly and so when re-checking, it's the perfect time for me to mess up.

Well, nuts are rich in protein but it doesn't mean someone would do well on a test if he/she eats nuts the night before a test. Though perhaps, it'll give him/her the (false) confidence he/she needs, I wouldn't rely on it. Just study, and study well.
