Answer 1

Dear Anna,

I am sorry to hear you feel anxious about your tests. I also had this problem before so here are some of my recommendations. I recommend you taking short breaks between studying and making homework. You can go for a short walk, brew yourself a tea or just lie down for a bit. You should also try listening to music, especially the classical. It is believed that classical music helps to concetrate, but any other ganre would be also great. I hope that you pass all your exams with straight A's and that you wouldn't feel so anxious anymore.

Wish you the best.

Alexander
