Getting over testing anxiety

[TheIronLurp]

Hello. I was looking to clep some credits and I cam across this site. Since I am here I thought I would post a question. How can you help prevent test anxiety. A large reason that I fail or struggle so much passing classes is because i sit down to take the test and my brain goes on holiday. I blank and can think of nothing in the least bit relevant to the test I am taking. A good example is back when I was in high school I sat down to take a calculus test and all I could think of is random facts about US history all of which were the answers to the American History test I took a week ago (on which I had the same problem.) I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what they do about it. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.
