How the CDs Work—Your Secret Weapon Against the Test

The very first thing that will happen when you use my program will be that you will relax. You will relax, though, in a way that is distinctly different than just relaxing on the sofa on your own. I will guide you, step by step, into a profound level of relaxation that is sometimes referred to as the “meditative state” or the “alpha state.” In this unique state of deep relaxation the mind becomes more receptive to suggestion, and this enhanced receptiveness is the key to making the positive changes which will help you pass your test.

3 CD Program

CD In the first CD, Relax and Focus, once you have achieved this deeply relaxed state (with my technique this takes about twelve minutes), I will help you redirect your thoughts to let go of the excessive anxiety, the fear, the panic and the “worst case scenarios.” Your mind will quiet down, and in this calm and peaceful state we will cultivate the ability to tap into this very same inner calmness when you are taking the test. I will help you tune out distractions and strengthen your level of mental focus and concentration so that you can study much more effectively. If you’re like nearly all my clients, you’ll see a clear, noticeable improvement immediately after using the first CD.

CD In the second CD, Total Recall, we address the retention and recall of learned information. A major source of anxiety for test takers is the fear that they just won't be able to remember the huge amount of information they're studying when the pressure is on. For many tests—the Bar Exam is a notable example—the sheer volume of information can seem nearly overwhelming. My program gives you a specialized “subconscious cue” to be used when you are studying which allows you to absorb information more easily, to see issues with a greater clarity of thought, and, most of all, to retain that information more deeply.

Then, on the day of the test, you use this “subconscious cue” once again, right before the test begins, allowing you to recall, to access information at just the crucial moment. So many of my clients have told me that this technique was like having a “secret weapon” at the test—that it gave them a special advantage!

CD The third CD, Test Success, focuses on rebuilding and elevating self-confidence. This is extremely important. The entire test taking process can really “beat up” one’s confidence, and my program helps you reconnect to your own natural self-confidence, to embrace a healthy sense of yourself and your abilities.

The technique of positive visualization is used to develop a clear vision of yourself walking in to your test and performing in a calm, focused and highly professional manner. All of the elements of successful test performance are powerfully reinforced in this third CD—and for this reason I strongly recommend that this be the CD you use the night before the exam.

Using CDs effectively does require a commitment from you. I advise you against using them where you might get distracted, like in the car or while you’re doing something else. Ideally, you’ll just need about a half hour where you won't be disturbed—a half hour where you can get comfortable and relax with your eyes closed. You will not be asleep during the program—you will be awake...but you will become very relaxed. Many people like to use the CDs at bedtime. This works beautifully for most, but, if you are someone who tends to fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, you may do well using the CDs on a quiet afternoon or morning.

People often begin the program a month or two before their exam, although, it's not absolutely necessary to start that far in advance. Even clients who've started the program just one week before their test have reported tremendous results. The key is to get started!

Does It Work for All Tests?

Many of my clients tell me immediately that what they need, more than anything in the world, is to be calm on the big day.

So many people tell me that they’ve always had trouble taking tests, all through school, and now, when the stakes are so much higher, they are petrified that they will “lose it” on one of the most important days of their life. They can imagine their nervousness and anxiety getting so bad on the morning of the test that they become paralyzed, “go blank,” and find themselves unable to remember any of what they studied! Some clients panic over the possibility that the very first questions will zero in on just those topics where they are the weakest—and if that happens they’ll be knocked off balance, and won't be able to recover.

Often there is a fear of having a full “meltdown” and not being able to complete the exam.

Other clients tell me that they don't really get “test jitters” on the day of the test—but they need help right now, with getting focused and studying. It's a few weeks, or a month or two before the test, and they're having a hard time getting going, they're not sticking to a study schedule, they‘re stalling, procrastinating, avoiding, evading, and finding every excuse in the world not to study.

Some students are taking the test after having failed it last time, and it is psychologically/emotionally difficult to jump back into test preparation all over again.

Some test candidates are trying to study but they find themselves easily distracted—by the phone, computer, television, pets, children, by just about anything!

Others are not so bothered by external distractions, but they are plagued by internal distractions: too much chatter or “internal dialogue” going on in their minds when they‘re trying to concentrate. They really need to quiet down their mind so that every hour spent studying really pays off! They need a deeper level of mental focus so that they will really retain the information they are studying and then be able to recall that information when the pressure is on.

These are the specific areas that the Test Anxiety Guru program addresses.
