Procrastination is when you put off or avoid doing something. When you’re studying for a test, you can procrastinate studying for the test, and either cram just before the test or avoid studying all together.
This can amp up your test anxiety. Not only do you increase your test anxiety by worrying about studying, you often talk yourself out of studying, and then convince yourself that you’re going to fail the test anyway, so why bother studying.
If you can change your perspective on how you approach studying, you can increase your chance of passing your test, decrease some of your test anxiety and increase your belief in yourself and your abilities when it comes to passing your test.
