A student feels anxious about being unprepared for an upcoming test. Which of the following is a positive response to this anxiety?
a. Choosing not to worry about studying because grades have been good so far
b. Staying up all night the night before the test to study
c. Canceling nonessential activities for 3 days to study
d. Borrowing notes from another student who has had the class in the past
ANS: C
Canceling nonessential activities to study helps the student reach the goal of knowing the information and passing the test. Not worrying will not help the student pass the test. Staying up all night will cause the student to be tired and not think clearly. Borrowing notes may help but is not as reliable as a book or other good study habits.
