With midterms and standardized exam dates rapidly approaching, some students are taking the time to brush up on helpful study techniques and test taking skills.According to experts, learning a few critical techniques for the preparation and execution of exams can reduce anxiety and increase performance.Andrea Greenwood and Amanda Tyson, both psychologists at the counseling center at UB, present a test anxiety workshop once a semester sponsored by the "food for thought" program at UB.The workshops' purpose is to help students reduce their anxiety and better prepare for everything from everyday quizzes to crucial standardized exams such as the LCAT, MCAT, or GRE.As discussed at the workshop, test anxiety can greatly diminish test performance, even for students who have good study habits and are well prepared for tests.Common characteristics of test anxiety are "blanking out," or not remembering what was studied, not being able to focus on the test, or that feeling of having done poorly because of nervousness or stress.Although popular among students, procrastination is not a good method, according to Greenwood."If you have a 9 a.m.
