The Lowdown On Test Anxiety
The sources of test anxiety and task avoidance are unique and can be incredibly complex. From my experience, I have observed certain trends among students who struggle with executive functioning. I've noticed that this is not necessarily due to a lack of comprehension of the course material, but rather a fear of failure and uncertainty about how to gain competency in the subject matter. Past negative feedback and low self-esteem often contribute to anxiety and avoidance. The stress of being different from peers, years of academic struggles, and frustration from authority figures can compound and lead to a cycle of poor performance and avoidance. We have found that students benefit from support in studying, managing anxiety, and celebrating their successes.
