Taking a Test with Hypnosis

We have all taken tests in our lives. Many people are afriad to take tests. Many avoid them like the plague. The kind of test I am referring to is a written exam, especially the ones required for licenship, certification, or a master's degree, but also important tests like GMAT and GRE. Even the SAT can be daunting.

Sounds like alphabet soup! We don't even know what they stand for, but they can be intimidating!


Hypnosis can be very helpful in the test taking process. It can help you maximize your study time, motivate you to study more, and face the exam in a very confident and relaxed manner. This is especially helpful to those who suffer from test anxiety.

Test anxiety refers to the dread of taking an exam, usually preceded by a bad experience. I have worked with several clients who have "gone blank" as soon as they sit for an exam. They spend the duration of the time stressing and worrying and barely get through it before the time is up. Some get so upset they can't even stay for the whole exam. They just give up. Needless to say this kind of consternation does not result in a high grade.

Hypnosis can restore your confidence. It also helps you to relax. This helps during the test, because stress, anxiety, and tension interfere with memory retrieval. Hypnosis helps the information keep flowing just when you need it. So now is a good time to see your local hypnotist or take a self-hypnosis class.
