Test Anxiety & Stress
Benefits of this Assessment
- Take this assessment as an opportunity to synthesize the material
- You’ll benefit from having studied for this exam in the 2nd half of the semester
Disadvantages of an Assessment
- In real life, we are not often timed in our ability to solve a problem (however, it is often valuable to solve it quickly)
- In real life, we continue to learn from our mistakes and continue to grow in our understanding
Our Assessment
- Yes, it might be a bit stressful as many things in life are
