Introduce the lesson by explaining that tests can sometimes make us feel nervous and that today we will learn ways to feel calmer. Encourage students to think about what makes them feel anxious and validate their feelings.

Session 1: Explain what test anxiety feels like. Use simple language and examples. Demonstrate the breathing exercise and guide the group discussion. Show the Test Anxiety Coping Strategies Handout if available.

Session 2: Talk about perfectionism—what it means and how it can add extra pressure. Lead a reflective activity using the Perfectionism Reflection Worksheet. Encourage sharing of thoughts and validating feelings.

Session 3: Review the coping strategies from the previous sessions. Organize a role-play activity where students can practice both the breathing technique and setting realistic goals. End with a group discussion to share useful strategies and reinforce self-compassion.
