Face it, there's a lot at stake. If you pass the TExES test you:
You've already accomplished a lot. But now you have to put it all to
the test
no matter what grade level or subject you'll teach
With that much at stake, you'd be crazy not to feel
anxiety. The bad news is
you're probably not going to make that
stress go away. Not before you've tackled
the TExES test. The good news
is the anxiety you think is your enemy can help you
Pass Your TExES
exam.
For TExES test takers test anxiety has all kinds of symptoms, some
of them
psychological, some of them actually physical.
Unfortunately, some TExES test takers avoid the stress by avoiding test prep and procrastinating.
Those symptoms you get when studying or taking your TExES exam can
be disastrous for
your teaching career. Just when you need to
concentrate and be clear-headed, it seems
your body is hell-bent on
tripping you up.
Your TExES exam anxiety you feel is just the natural, biological
'fight or flight'
mechanism built right into the human mind. Just like a
prehistoric hunter, you
sense 'danger ahead' and that causes your brain and
your body to react.
You release adrenaline, the hormone that causes all those
physiological reactions,
from cold sweats to headaches and nausea. So the
important thing to keep in mind
is that your stress is built right in.
What matters is not that you feel stress, but
how you react to
it.
