So I know you don’t teach math, but right now I’m having a very difficult time in it. I am in grade 12 pre calculus and I am feeling terrible anxiety towards it to the point where I feel physically sick. I need this credit to graduate so I need to stick it out, but I can’t continue on feeling like this. Do you have any tips on calming down for tests or any advice to make this easier for me?

I have been there before with getting so worked up about something I become sick.  What did it accomplish?  Nothing, other than making me further behind and more upset and sick.

Talk with your teacher regarding suggested strategies for studying or to move through the work.  Just remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  If you don’t do well on one part of it, take some breaths, relax, find out where you went wrong, and move on to tackle the next part.  We can’t all be perfect at everything, but hard work, effort and moving on will help you.

You can do it!
