Just a little insight from a “bad test taker.” I’m a good student because I can process information I learn in class easily and understand it easily, but put me in front of a collegeboard test that I know contains information I haven’t seen for years causes my mind to race, speed through things, lose all concept of time, my face gets extremely red, and I get incredibly anxious. Perhaps I could spend more time preparing like you said, but still knowing how important the test is would be enough to give me the same side effects.
