Levels of anxiety can be significantly impacted by tests or exams, with some students experiencing high levels of distress. Indeed, evidence suggests this can severely impact not only on student wellbeing, but also on their performance and therefore result in an individual’s ability being underestimated. The content of this session will focus on what evidence tells us about links between assessment and anxiety, and explore what both educators and students can try to minimise the impact of this.
By the end of the session you will be able to:
• Identify common sources of anxiety for young people
• Describe links between assessment and anxiety
• Identify some simple strategies for staff and pupils in managing this
Suitable for: Secondary and FE
