Anxiety: Talk to a professional or counselor. If you can get to the root of the anxiety it should be easier to control.

Control: I suspect that you’re a bit of a perfectionist. You are searching for the perfect sentences when the perfect sentence rarely exists in the construct of an examination. The further you go in your school career the more demanding the assignment and tests will become and the less control and mastery you will have over the subject matter until finally most everything is interpretive thought and imagination. (Graduate School). Here’s a bit of a mantra for you. I cannot know everything. I will not know everything. Everything that is important I will try to learn.

Test Hint: Have one or two mnemonic devices. Write it down as soon as the test starts. For every letter in the device try to write a simple paragraph.

Writing Style: Until you get your grove back, concentrate on the active voice. Subject, verb, action.
