Performance Anxiety Online Workshop
9 March 2021
Performance anxiety may happen to anyone and can affect people in many ways. Test anxiety is a type of performance anxiety affecting students.  It can alter their concentration, may develop phobias, and can make students have aversion from studies altogether - drastically affecting their academic performance and orientation to studies. Performance anxiety can become really dysfunctional sometimes if not addressed properly. It is therefore important to understand what performance anxiety is and how can it be managed.
