Nerves

You're taking a test and you're so nervous. You cant think straight and your mind is empty. You know you have learned this stuff over and over again but you just cant think of the right answer.

     Test taking can be so nerve racking. I mean think about it, seriously. You're sitting in the classroom waiting for your teacher to hand the test out. As she takes attendance to see who is and isn't here, you are trying to go over everything you have studied the night before. Finally, once the teacher is done taking attendance and you have gone over a few things she finally hands out the test. She walks slowly down each aisle and as you watch her get closer and closer, tension builds up. Once she gets to your desk she gently places the test face down. Once everybody has their test she walks back to her desk and tells you to open your books to the first page. She reads the directions thoroughly through and then tells you you have a hour and a half to finish the test. You turn to the next page and pick up your pencil. Your hand starts to shake and you start to sweat. Every question seems to get harder as you go on. Your nerves take over your whole body, but especially your train of thought. You cant think straight and you hear the sounds of peoples pencils as they write down their answers. The clock ticktocks back and forth, the sound seems to get faster and faster, because every time you look at the clock another ten minutes have gone by. When you're finally almost done you look at the clock and you only have a little more than 45 minutes. You start to panic and wondering if you're going to finish on time. You start to rush through your questions not bothering to reread your answer and to make sure there right. When the teacher rings the bell, its over, you drop your pencil and close your book and take a deep breath. You close your eyes and tell yourself you did the best you could do. Then you grab your test and walk over to the teacher and lightly hand her your test. Then you step out the doors and all the nerves you once felt were now gone, and everything goes back to normal as if nothing ever happened.

Author's Note

Taking a test can be very nerve racking. I figured why not write about it since many of us will be having midterms very soon! I hope you like it! Please tell me what you think!

I know what you mean! Test taking can be extremely stressful for many people! I have a few tests coming up myself, but I'm not stressing too much over them. Great story! I can really relate to this and so can many other people! :D
