Reviews"As a teacher and researcher, I have seen how fears about academic performance can undermine students' performance and well-being. Jordan and Lovett offer science-backed strategies that not only ease students' test anxiety, but can actually change their mindsets about testing and stress. Students learn to replace avoidance and self-criticism with courage and a desire for improvement, as they master their fear, focus their efforts, and perform under pressure. This book is a valuable aid for clinicians and educators."--Carol S. Dweck, PhD, Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology, Stanford University "This book fills an important need by highlighting the prevalence of test anxiety and the challenges that it poses to students. Jordan and Lovett are scholars who have made major contributions to our understanding of test anxiety. In an accessible and engaging style, the book seamlessly integrates available assessment and treatment options. This is an authoritative, up-to-date guide."--Sybille Bruun Moss, PhD, Director of Student Success Services, The Elisabeth Morrow School, Englewood, New Jersey "Anxiety is a veritable epidemic among youth and young adults today, and tests and exams are often a specific area of focus. Jordan and Lovett masterfully guide readers through rich clinical descriptions, a rigorous review of research, available assessment options, and, finally, a comprehensive model for treatment, replete with evidence-based techniques. This authoritative, practical guide is a 'must read' for clinicians and educators who support students with test anxiety."--David H. Rosmarin, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Founder, Center for Anxiety "Jordan and Lovett refreshingly treat test anxiety as the beginning of a conversation, not the end. This book breaks down 'test anxiety' into clear, knowable components, as opposed to an amorphous, unavoidable phenomenon hindering test performance. The authors provide turnkey guidance for pairing psychoeducation with hands-on exercises to increase student confidence. Complete with evidence-based interventions, impactful exercises, detailed handouts, and helpful conversation starters, this book will empower mental health professionals and educators to address issues impacting test performance with clarity and confidence."--Sheila Akbar, PhD, President and CEO, Signet Education, "As a teacher and researcher, I have seen how fears about academic performance can undermine students' performance and well-being.
