The Anti-Test Anxiety Society: Help Worried Students Prepare for Tests

<p>Bertha Billingsworth (BB for short) is basically a happy person... until she has to take a test. To her, the word test stands for <strong>T</strong>errible <strong>E</strong>very <strong>S</strong>ingle <strong>T</strong>ime, because that's how she does on them... TERRIBLE!</p> <p><em>Whenever I see or hear the word test...</em></p> <p><em>The hair on the back of my neck stands up.</em></p> <p><em>My face turns as red as a beet.</em></p> <p><em>I start to sweat, my stomach aches,</em></p> <p><em>and I can't control my feet!</em></p> <p><em>What if I get every answer wrong?</em></p> <p><em>And I don't get any right.</em></p> <p><em>I just know I'll get a bad grade on this test,</em></p> <p><em>so I don't even want to try!</em></p> <p>BB's teacher comes to the rescue by inviting her to become a member of the Anti-Test Anxiety Society. She tells BB that TEST stands for <strong>T</strong>hink <strong>E</strong>ach <strong>S</strong>ituation <strong>T</strong>hrough! She also ends up <strong>teaching BB the Dynamic Dozen (12 amazing test taking strategies), and convinces her to use her "GET TO" brain instead of her "HAVE TO" brain</strong>. Now when BB takes a test, she is calm and focused and thanks to her teacher, the Terrible now stands for Terrific!</p>
