46 - 50. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
 
Ann Whitney, a student at Colorado University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go into taking the test, only to find I couldn’t answer the questions correctly. 1 would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn’t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show
what I know to the teacher.” Another student in microbiology had similar experience.
 
These two young students were experiencing something called anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
 
Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety.
 
An expert at the University of California explains, “With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are left after our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement.”
