Breathing faster than normal is a common symptom of test anxiety, so it’s no wonder that taking long, deep, full breaths can actually make you calmer. When your breathing is relaxed, the rest of your body follows suit!

As you deliver more oxygen to your brain through deep breathing, you reap the psychological benefits of a calmer system.

To put yourself in a calm state that is optimal for learning and problem-solving, whether you’re taking the actual GRE or a practice test, or just doing some concept review, take several breaths that reach down to your abdomen rather than stopping in your chest. This type of breathing is one of the simplest and most effective tricks for reducing anxiety.
