<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a bright student who carries a 3.7 who has test anxiety. He has difficulty with completing the English portion of the ACT’s, and it is obvious anxiety is the issue- cold sweat, turning pale. Etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He would like to enroll in concurrent courses and has plans to continue his education at Oklahoma State. Are there any resources or allowances for test anxiety?<o:p></o:p></p>
