		<description><![CDATA[Now that we&#8217;ve talked about the basics of test anxiety and how important it is to &#8220;think positive&#8221; and just breathe, it&#8217;s time to tie it all together with a tip to help make it all work, plus a little icing on the cake: Practice, practice, practice. Practicing anxiety-reducing techniques is crucial, so that they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing our series on dealing with test anxiety, this article is all about the things that seem most obvious. Breathe. People who have test anxiety often forget the basics. They don&#8217;t eat right, they don&#8217;t exercise, they don&#8217;t sleep well. Sometimes they even unconsciously hold their breath for long periods during a test. Yes, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Test anxiety, whether it relates to a standardized test or an open-ended, in-class test, is real. Some students who ask their doctors about test anxiety find that their anxiety stems from an undiagnosed medical or learning issue. In some ways (though certainly not all), they&#8217;re the lucky ones: they have a certified expert telling them [...]]]></description>
