Writing About Worries Eases Anxiety and Improves Test Performance

Posted By on January 19, 2011

ScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2011) — Students can combat test anxiety and improve performance by writing about their worries immediately before the exam begins, according to a University of Chicago study published in the journal Science.
Researchers found that students who were prone to test anxiety improved their high-stakes test scores by nearly one grade point after they were given 10 minutes to write about what was causing them fear, according to a study in the Jan. 14 issue of Science based on research supported by the National Science Foundation.
