Does your tween, teen, or college student struggle with taking tests? Are they struggling with the ACT or SAT?

Today more and more teens struggle with test anxiety. It’s a real thing. A little anxiety can help your performance but too much anxiety will hurt your test scores. One of the reasons that test anxiety is on the rise, is there is so much pressure over test results. It feels like it's high stakes and when something feels high stakes, you feel anxious. The higher the stakes the more anxiety you have.
