Learning is meant to be a fulfilling experience that you can build on. If you are anxious about taking a test or writing a paper, take a deep breath and relax. Prepare for the event by studying for several days as well as right before the event. THink about what you write and makes sure it makes sense to you. Read over it before you turn it in. 
         If you have time, go back over it and make sure that you answered every question. If you are writing a paper, make sure that your thesis, each paragraph, and your conclusion follow a logical progression. Make sure that your conclusion restates your thesis statement.
