KST A to Z
Test anxiety

James, a 30-year-old auto technician, mentioned to me that he was struggling with a math class he was taking. He said he has always struggled with math, especially timed tests.
After clearing priorities, I had him ask aloud: "Why do I feel so relaxed taking math tests?"...nothing. Then, "Why do I feel so relaxed taking timed tests?"...nothing. I almost quit but tried one more: "Why do I feel so relaxed taking TIMED MATH tests?" BIG drop (OD).
Found a sphenoid pattern and adjusted. He took the test later that day. 40-minute limit, finished in 19 minutes with a 97%.
He summed it up: "I wish I woulda known about this earlier!"
