Good post. Id say a mix you should have some stress motivating you but you shouldn’t be sweating between you ass cheeks during a test

Be a little nervous but not that much

Not in a high IQ career... You can fail even studying

I have had perfect balance sometimes where I am so locked in and confident but at the same time completely unstressed. When I took ACT I felt this way. When I took AP Lang, Lit, APUSH, I felt this way as well.

My balance only occurs when I know I am going to slay the test. For example in physics C I was nervous hella and not locked, constantly doubted myself, and only did ok on the test. In classes like calc AB and BC I knew I would get 5 but I was still hella nervous cuz and couldn’t enter the zone, I wasn’t a true master of the subject. I haven’t felt unstressed for a major test since AP lit test, the college tests I always feel hella stressed/slightly not locked during the test because they bear so much weight. Idk if I’ll ever have a perfect balance on a test in college.

It is best to have no stress and yet still know with absolute certainty that you will do great on the test. Perfect control over timing, your thoughts, the pace of people around you, your own pace, and your own quality of work.

U gotta be an expert on the test material to be completely unstressed and certain that you will ace the test, and this rarely happens.

I have to make sure I have perfect grades this year like 9.5> and I am at a new school and teachers dont know me

If I want to get out of this shithole I have to work my ass off
