Test day paranoia? As in you don’t trust the test and have suspicions of the motives of the proctors? I don’t understand. Do you mean test day anxiety?

I performed my best strangely when I told myself “it didn’t matter at all.” I know that probably doesn’t help you because you’ll be feeling the pressure but I actually performed my very best the day I slipped up huge and forgot my admission ticket. Had to call my dad. As result was late to the testing room. Last to get a seat. I just told myself “wow this is a joke just have fun with it this time” and not coincidentally that time (which happened to be my lowest stressed testing day because I told myself “oh well just pretend it’s a game and go with it”) I did my best scoring significantly higher than all other times I tested. Needless to say I didn’t score higher than that 34 on the ACT that day (~2280 SAT equivalent I think) again in high school.
