A Quick Mindset Shift to Reduce Testing Anxiety on the SAT & ACT

It's easy to build up the SAT and ACT and everything that they represent: testing, college admissions, success, the future...

All of this creates a high-stakes story that can lead test-takers to freak out during their prep, in the test room, or both. And since it's hard to think clearly when you're freaking out on test day and hard to face a project that's causing you anxiety leading up to test day, it's important to learn ways to address your anxiety as a part of your test prep process if you want to perform your best.

​There are many ways to address testing anxiety, and it's nice to have a few tools in your feel-good toolbox. In today's video, I share one of my all-time favorites. ​It's a quick mindset shift that will help you dissolve  anxiety within moments.
