Test Anxiety & EFT Support
Test anxiety and executive functioning are two distinct but interconnected concepts that can influence a student’s performance during tests and academic activities.
Through his work, Michael helps reduce how the relationship between test anxiety and executive functioning can be seen hinder a student’s ability to perform.
By addressing both test anxiety and executive functioning, students can develop greater resilience and perform better academically and in evaluative situations.
Test Anxiety: Test anxiety refers to the feelings of nervousness, worry, or fear that arise when a student is faced with an evaluative situation such as a test, exam, or assessment. It is a form of performance anxiety that can negatively impact a student’s ability to perform to their full potential. Common symptoms of test anxiety include racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and a feeling of dread.
Executive Functioning: Executive functioning refers to a set of cognitive processes that enable individuals to manage their thoughts, actions, and emotions to achieve goals effectively. These skills include but are not limited to, planning, organization, time management, working memory, attention control, impulse control, and flexible thinking. Students with strong executive functioning skills tend to be more organized, better at managing their time, and can effectively problem-solve and self-regulate.
