You might have test anxiety.
If it's mild, you can train yourself to relax by doing many different quiet excercises before and during the test.
If it's more severe, then you will need to see a doctor, so he can test you (I know, the irony...).
Then, he will give your school the information so that they can make modifications for you to be successful when you test.
You can't avoid the testing, but you can avoid the stress.
Good luck!
Happy holidays!

Whether or not you realize it, people do get nervous when taking tests, and their minds go blank. When doing your math homework, you are not under the same pressure, and you have reference material nearby to look up answers if you need to. It's also possible that you get overly confident when taking the tests, and think you know all the answers, but could be missing something important.
Maybe you aren't understanding the test questions, or maybe they're "trick" questions. Maybe you copied your study notes wrong. Or if the tests are spontaneous, you haven't had sufficient time to prepare for them. The next time the teacher gives a test or a quiz, make sure you're studying the correct material, and if there's anything you don't feel confident about, be sure to ask questions. Get plenty of rest the night before so your head will be clear. Go over each question slowly and carefully, to make sure you understand it, and pretend that you're at home in your room studying. That may take some of the pressure off. Good luck!

Change your study habits like someone else suggested. Don't rush through the test. Check your work for careless mistakes (for example, sometimes you will rush and mess up a simple multiplication problem, something that you can catch if you double check your work). Maybe even give yourself practice tests when you study, have a friend or a parent make up problems for you to work on in addition to homework and pretend like its the real test.

Are you listening to Music and laying down, eating a sandwich and talking on the phone when you are doing your Homework? If you are, you study habits need to change. When you take your Tests, none of this is going on and your Re-call is Dramaticlly affected! Study in the Same Manner as you will be taking the Tests. Sit up, No music, no phone, no food...... Just like you are taking the test. You study in the Same type of Environment as the test is given. Your Re-call will be Great and your Grades will Skyrocket. Thanks, John.

i'm fortunate adequate to artwork in a magnet intense college the place the scholars are gifted in arithmetic and technological understanding. yet i've got no longer constantly worked there. i've got been in a lecture room the place I have been given homework from decrease than one-0.33 of the classification. i could evaluate this a intense college concern, however. Your scholars are, for the main area, i could think of, a minimum of 18 years of age. Your job as a professor is to no longer motivate them; it particularly is to explicate the recommendations necessary to the classification to the superb of your potential. once you have *babies*, as I do, area of my day DOES ought to do with motivation. yet you're no longer coping with babies. the guy above shows taking on the homework. you could look at it and tell no rely if the pupil tried each and every concern. taking on random homeworks would ameliorate the region. additionally, i've got chanced on interior the previous that scholars who particularly understand their homework (whether they seem to be a discipline concern interior the lecture room) do their homework. in case you have a huge quantity of scholars who are not doing their homework, i could draw the tip that maximum scholars do no longer understand a thank you to word the ideas they learn in college to the topics assigned interior the textual content cloth. superb, -John

my problem all throughout middle and highschool was that i could use my book and notes to do my homework, but not for my tests. see, in my mind, if i could find how to do the problem, then i could solve it, and i usually could........
also, careless mistakes....suggest to your teacher that she try grading the WORK that you did on a problem and try to find your mistake on your next quiz/test. i bet you accidently divided instead of added!
