Test anxiety and nerves can cause learners to make uncharacteristic mistakes during the exam.

Feeling nervous before a big test is totally normal. But high stress can mess with your focus. It makes you make silly mistakes you would never usually make. To beat this, you should practice under real test conditions. Sit in a quiet room, set a timer, and do a mock test without looking at your phone. This gets your brain used to the pressure so you do not freeze up on the big day.
