Everyone wants to do well in school. And 99.9% of the people here at Berkeley have the ability to do so. It's too bad that some students have to battle with fear of tests along with everything else they have to deal with.
There are a number of places and people that can help students overcome test anxiety. A good way to start is by contacting:
"Building Academic Self-Confidence"

"I've Tried Everything, But Nothing Works: Improving Academic
Performance"
Thursday, November 19
3:30 - 5pm

There will also be other sessions to help students find the career path
that suits them best:
