Exam and Driving Test Nerves

Does the thought of sitting that exam or driving test make you feel sick with worry?

Is your stomach tied up in knots that seem to get tighter and tighter the closer you get to the exam day?

Are you fed up with the sweaty palms, the lump in your throat, the sick feeling and the blind panic you feel when you take the exam or driving test?

Would you like to learn how to be calm, confident, in control and mentally prepared for any exam situation?

For most of us, ‘exam’ nerves actually help motivate us and help focus our minds.

However for others, the anticipation of an exam or driving test can intensify their nerves to the point of panic. Thoughts of what might happen, what questions might be asked, what might go wrong, brings on sweaty palms and racing heartbeat, anxiety attacks, chronic stress, even insomnia.

Even though you know that you have the knowledge and the skills, the stress can build up to the point when you just “know” that you will “go to pieces” when the examiner gets in the car or you enter the exam room – and because you’ve told yourself this over and again before the event, that’s exactly what happens.

Maybe it’s a lack of confidence in test situations, a fear of forgetting what you’ve learned and possibly fear of losing control while you’re ‘on-the-spot’ and being assessed. But pre-test nerves can prevent you from even taking the test or exam in the first place, which can hold you back from the job you want or the freedom of being able to drive wherever and whenever you want to.

Terri can help by teaching you ways to reduce the anxiety you feel when taking exams or tests, boost your self-confidence, teach you how to control your racing thoughts and allow you to approach the exam or test with calmness and confidence.
