It is very important to know that cheating can become a bad habit and takes you nowhere even if you don't get caught, you lose.
Now let's go back to the right kinds of practice that you need to know to deal with test anxiety.
There are some physical symptoms even mental symptoms that most College students have reported while testing: Fatigue, anger, frustration, fear, nervousness and doubt.
How to reduce these symptoms?
Make a list of your symptoms and tell yourself why are you having this feelings and how do you plan to reduce them and remember these points:
If you are feeling nervous, take deep breath and glance at the entire test before you begin.
Think positive.
Is not the end of the world if you get a lower grade what matter is that you kept your integrity.
Better to have a lower grade than to get an A for something that you didn't even study for.
Leave your problems behind before entering a classroom.
This is not the time to feel angry or to think about your problems.
Unfortunately all of your problems will be there waiting for you after class. So don't think about them while you are taking a test.
Always ignore the pace of your classmates just because somebody finished first does not mean he/she is going to have a better grade than those who finished last.
Don't forget to study ahead of time and if you have questions ask, before the test.
