Test Anxiety - child psychology answers Test anxiety can be debilitating, and is becoming increasingly prevalent due to the importance we place on test scores, the insane level of competition among students to earn top grades, and the resulting pressure that students place on themselves. There is no single profile of a student who suffers from test anxiety; it can happen to any student at any educational or performance level. However, there are certain types of test anxiety that do have specific causes. Many students who struggle with this have undiagnosed learning, processing, or attention problems that impact their ability to perform on a test. The repeated experience of struggle on exams (due to the learning disability) eventually causes them to approach every exam with anxiety. This is, of course, a learned and understandable reaction to a concrete problem. #what_is_a_learning_disability #types_of_learning_disabilities #help_my_child_with_learning_disabilities #does_my_child_have_learning_disabilities #learning_disability _types #characteristics_of_learning_disability #learning_disability_symptoms #cause_of_learning_disability #learning_disabilities_treatment https://www.childpsychologyanswers.com/test-anxiety/
