About this episode

This episode discusses the common issue of exam anxiety and its effects on individuals across different age groups.

Exam/assessment/test anxiety is very common, not just for school children, but also for university/college students and adults facing tests or exams at work. This anxiety or stress doesn’t, in most cases, lead to panic attacks on the day, but it can do for a minority of people and once you do experience a panic attack in that situation, the fear of having another panic attack in the same, or similar situation CAN provoke another one when you’re in that same situation).
