He battles his way through test-taking phobia

College student Mike

“School has always been sort of easy for me. I’m good at projects. Perfect for projects. But the one thing is, I’m not a really good test taker. For some reason, I’ve got like this phobia when it comes to tests. It’s like when there’s a test, I lose track of all the answers. Just like, ‘OK, what is this?’ I kind of freeze up. It’s not all the time. But it still happens sometimes, especially if it’s something big and worth a lot of points.”

So how do you combat that fear?
“I don’t know. I guess I just fight my way through it. The pressure, it still kind of plays on me. But I just kind of battle through it.”
