Arbor Bridge Trial

This report summarizes the results of the aceit platform trial with Arbor Bridge Test Prep which was comprised of 40 students taking the domestic ACT, some for the first time, some for the second and some for the third. 

 

Test anxiety is a feeling of agitation and distress associated with test taking which impacts the student’s ability to study or perform on the test. Some anxiety is natural and helps to keep the student mentally and physically alert, but too much may cause physical distress, emotional struggle, and concentration difficulties. Test stress can actually hurt test performance.

 

The overall goal of the aceit platform is to help students understand their emotions and to learn how to regulate their stress level.

Specifically:

Become Aware- understand what specifically happens when you get stressed.

 Reframe Stress- understand that stress is good if you learn how manage it.

Acquire Techniques- learn how to get into your “zone”.

Reach Peak Performance -  score higher on the test.
