High School & College Programs

Automated presentation simplifies administration

An effective anxiety control program can benefit anxious students as much as anything that a school system can reasonably offer.  High test anxiety affects 16—20% of students, and another 16—20% are in the moderately high range. Aside from making students miserable, high anxiety lowers test scores by about 12 percentile points. 

The test-anxiety control program has produced 12 percentile (half a letter grade) test gains among college students, and more modest 6 percentile gains among younger students.  Something close to the 12 percentile gains might be expected for high school students.

Automated administration

The anxiety control training protocol is presented from a recorded CD, which conserves staff time and enables a single counselor to treat whole classes of anxious students in just a few hours.  The training CD presents the technical features of the training, while the counselor is free to relate to the students, answer questions, and encourage their participation.

Each student who receives a training CD can do much of the practice at home, minimizing staff hours required.

Surprisingly Easy to Implement

• Screen your selected student groups with the Westside scale (download Scale).
  
  
• Attain Training CDs, one for each anxious student.
  
  
• Meet with the highly anxious students, explain the program, and present the recorded CD Training to the students.
  
  
• Each student receives a training CD and can do further practice at home.  Encourage students to review the CD at least twice, and monitor compliance.
