In particular, the anxiety from frequent tests almost overwhelms some of them. However, my own exper ience has taught me that if we take a proper attitude towards tests, the test anxiety will be lessened in turn. There was also a time when I buried myself in piles of exercises and reference books every day but my test grades didn’t live up to m y expectation. Fortunately, my English teacher felt my stress and reminded me that “any test is just another practice”. Hearing this, I suddenly realized that I shouldn’t have attached too much importance to the test grades. From then on, I r egarded every test as the chance to learn from mi stakes and reflect how to improve my learnin g strategies. To my relief, I have made a lot of progress since then. As the saying goes, “work hard but work smart”. My experience ma kes it self-evident that only if we take a proper attitude tow ards tests, will we be relieved from the test anxiety.
