Synopsis

Whether you're preparing for higher education or you're already there, one thing is for sure – the tests you need to take are stressful. Perhaps you feel like you don't know how to properly prepare, or you get so nervous that you can't put what you know to paper when the time comes to take an exam.

Manage Test Anxiety While You Study uses cognitive science to explain how memory works, and how to use this to your advantage when retaining knowledge for exams. This knowledge will boost your confidence by showing you how your revision works, and ease the amount of anxiety you feel when you sit down for your next test.

She has seen how important this is firsthand – she has nearly three decades of experience working in primary and secondary education.
