Coping with Test Anxiety.
Mealey, Donna L.; Host, Timothy R.
College Teaching, v40 n4 p147-50 Fall 1992

Techniques for lessening anxiety include teaching metacognitive and learning strategies, using cooperative learning activities, and creating a nonthreatening environment. A survey of 102 developmental reading college students indicated that teacher behavior during testing and pretest review are important to minimizing test-anxiety. (MSE)
