Some students get so nervous before a test, and they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers.
Sian Beilock：“They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about     this exam is going to prevent    from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it     (actual) uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam. ”
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed      possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes      (write) about their worries about the test.
Sian Beilock：“       we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reassess the situation. They might realize it's not as hard as they might think it was before and, in fact, it       (prevent) these thoughts from popping up when they’re actually taking a test. ”
The        (research) tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.  They gave them two short math tests.     the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly      write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
