Learning Strategies for Test Anxiety

Test anxiety refers to a complex of physiological and emotional responses to tension or stress resulting from apprehension for upcoming exams. This state of distress and uneasiness is often marked by muscle tension, headaches, stomach aches, sleepiness or sleeplessness, excessive sweating, acne breakouts, fever blisters, shakiness, depression, irritability, anger, panic, lack of confidence, helplessness, and memory loss.

The effects of test anxiety vary widely in nature and severity from one student to another. Some students are mildly affected by anxiety, and may only experience one or two of the symptoms. Others, however, may experience symptoms of anxiety so severe that they are greatly incapacitated.

Many researchers suggest that a little worry is good for students because it keeps them alert and task-oriented. Excessive worry, on the other hand, can be very deleterious and debilitating for students as it leads to mental blocks and the other problems listed above.

Mahatma Gandhi famous quotes

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.

We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

Where love is, there God is also.

Where there is love there is life.

Leader Vs Manager

Managers are people who do things right and leaders are people who do the right thing. The difference may be summarized as activities of vision and judgment — effectiveness —versus activities of mastering routines — efficiency.

The floowing points below indicates key words that further make the distinction between the two functions:

1. The manager administers; the leader innovates.

2. The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.

3. The manager maintains; the leader develops.

4. The manager accepts reality; the leader investigates it.

5. The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.

6. The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.

7. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.

8. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

9. The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader has his or her eye on the horizon.

10. The manager imitates; the leader originates.

11. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

12. The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person.

13. The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.

The most dramatic differences between leaders and managers are found at the extremes: poor leaders are despots, while poor managers are bureaucrats in the worst sense of the word. Whilst leadership is a human process and management is a process of resource allocation, both have their place and managers must also perform as leaders. All first-class managers turn out to have quite a lot of leadership ability.
