Focus on controlled breathing. Before and during the test, when you feel anxiety rising, take a few slow, deep breaths. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. This simple technique can help regulate your heart rate and calm your nervous system, allowing you to think more clearly. For more tips like this one, explore the library’s How to Study guide.
