Dear mom12, It sounds to me that you need to relax first...Just take a few minutes and lay down, close your eyes take some deep breaths and try to think about only one thing just for a moment...It sounds crazy but I've done this relaxation technique many times and it has done wonders for me...Also you need to make sure that you don't cram when you study...Focus only on a few concepts at once per night until you've studied everything you needed to then go back and refresh your memory on these items before the big test, it will be a lot less stressful...This is how I can study the best..The key is studying gradually, no one has the ability to sit down and study 10 chapters worth of information in one night and completely focus only on that...It's just too much information at one time and it is easy to forget what you've studied because you haven't adjusted your brain... Lastly, also stay confident and believe in yourself...If you really want to do well you WILL... Good Luck!! I hope my advice will help you!!! ~Glrer21
