I have a decently well habit of studying. I pay attention in school, get A's and B's on the notes and homework assignments I do. I pass with class participation as well. But every time I take a test or quiz my mind goes totally blank. Like at that time every thing that I learned that I was needed to know for the test or quiz is gone. I try so hard to get the memory back, but it fails. So I end up failing the test or quiz. What I don't get is why this is happening. However, I do have a high anxiety and stress problem so it could be partly from that.
Any suggestions, tips, or information to help me do better on tests in this situation?
And please do not say something like "I don't know; go to a Doctor or Psychologist" because that's not what I am looking for.
Thank you very much in advance! (link)

When I was in 6th and 7th grade, I had this problem. I used pneumonic devices. Like when we were learning the great lakes, I used HOMES (Huron, Ontorio, Michigan, Erie, Superior). I kept in my head all day and then as soon as I got the test I unloaded it by writing in the margin (if your teacher strict about scribbles, erase it before you hand it in). If you only know some of the information, answer the questions you know and skip the ones you don't (you can always go back). That way you don't get a F cause you stuck on one problem instead of getting C cause you skipped it and answered others. Also, answer the questions with the largest point value (such as essay) first.
Hope this helps
