Hi everyone,

We have added a new episode to our GMAT Podcast. You can listen to it at the following link https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmatclub-pod ... l#p3825324

Episode Summary

What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise, or the feeling that your performance suddenly drops when the test feels real. In this episode of the GMAT Ninja Podcast, Charles speaks with certified mental performance coach Erika Osherow about what test anxiety actually is, why it is often misunderstood, and how test takers can build the mental skills to manage it more effectively.

They discuss why anxiety is not always a bad thing, how to think about test-taking like a sport, the value of pre-exam routines, how to break unhelpful thought patterns, and the two broad approaches to anxiety management: cognitive tools and mindfulness-based focus tools. The conversation also explores how awareness, consistency, and small repeated habits can help you build better focus and perform closer to your actual ability on test day.

In this episode:

  • What test anxiety really looks like on the GMAT
  • Why anxiety is not always obvious
  • When stress helps and when it hurts performance
  • How to build a pre-exam routine
  • How to interrupt negative thoughts before the test
  • Cognitive vs mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety
  • How to stay in the present moment during the exam
  • Why managing test anxiety is a trainable skill
