How to Manage Test Anxiety Before the Florida Standardized Tests



Even the best-prepared students can feel nervous on test day. Florida’s statewide assessments are important, but they don’t have to be overwhelming. With the right strategies, students can walk in calm, confident, and ready to succeed.


🧘‍♂️ Techniques to Stay Calm and Focused


  • Deep Breathing: Slow, steady breaths help lower your heart rate and calm your mind.

  • Positive Self-Talk: Replace “I can’t do this” with “I’ve prepared and I’m ready.”

  • Visualization: Picture yourself in the testing room, calm and answering questions confidently.

  • Sleep & Nutrition: Encourage 8–9 hours of sleep before the test and a protein-rich breakfast the day of.


🧠 Preparation = Confidence


Often, anxiety comes from uncertainty. Reviewing the test format, practicing with sample questions, and setting realistic goals can significantly reduce stress.
