23   Link   TestPrepReview
Preparing for a test isn't easy, and most test takers have some sort of test anxiety as they prepare. I know standardized tests have always given me a sense of dread, even when I'm adequately prepared and know I will do well on the test. Through high school, college, and then graduate school, the tests seemed to only get more complicated and more important. Preparing for the next difficult standardized test in my immediate future became a way of life for me.
