Useful tips and tricks for test anxiety Dr. Orazio. I would like to see further clarification on the comparison on page 1 where you discuss “if you are not one of those people...” Do you mean either you have test anxiety or you do not? I also believe you can further explain what normal test anxiety is as students might seek that answer on how to classify themselves. We tend to want direct answers on categories, and I believe this would help readers finish reading your paper if they note that these are tips for both typical and excessive test anxieties.

Be well.

These are good tips and you have many references listed. I would recommend adding citations within the text of your paper to ensure the information in the paper is attributed correctly.

These are some wonderful tips for test anxiety Dr. Orazio. I would also recommend the addition of computer-administered testing on test anxiety and performance, as this has become very common in assigned testing in addition to traditional pencil-and-paper testing. 

Hi Dr. Orazio:

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your paper review.

I would recommend at the start of the semester that you suggest the students form a "quiz group."  The group can meet for coffee and discuss his/her test anxieties with peers.  Possibly the week before the quiz, the group can take five minutes in class, or in an online environment - set up a forum for discussion, where the students can explain the anxiety and the instructor can be prepared to assure the student(s) that studying is the key to doing well.  Lastly, if the student is still struggling, suggesting a tutor could calm the nerves of an over-anxious student.

With the paper discussing college-students, it is common practice for college students to take tests.  I would place the emphasis on expanding resources, such as the group or chat forum and lessen the discussion on eating breakfast.  Possibly, the quiz group could meet for breakfast the morning of the exam to provide support for each other.  I see this as being an option that could help you expand your paper and the knowledge of the students concurrently.

Thank you and blessings.

Hi Dr. Orazio,

Your suggestions for helping students overcome test anxiety are great! Those who have previously commented on your paper have mentioned the need for further citation - good suggestions. The final point on page 4 is incomplete. I assume an abstract will need to be included prior to publication. Your suggestions would provide an excellent post in the online classroom to assist students. With your permission, I would like to adapt your presentation to future classes.

Blessings,

Hello Dr. Orazio,

In addition to working here at GCU, I am a school counselor (and music teacher). I cannot express how often this subject comes up with students of all ages. These are some excellent resources to provide. I also found several useful ideas form the literature of performance anxiety in music and athletics, that can be very helpful with students. If you wished to expand, I would be happy to send some of my other resources.
