How to get over testing anxiety?
During your first time looking through test, marks the ones you are unsure about, and differently marks the one you completely guess on, leaves the ones you're sure about blank. Once you finish looking through all the answers the first time, look at the test once more. Look at the ones you're sure about first, as this will be the quickest part, then the ones you're unsure about, then leave the ones you completely guess on for last, as there's better usage of your time checking the ones you have a shot at.
Go visit your school's counseling center STAT!

I have the same thing OP. At the end of the day, your first choice is usually right and if you don't know anything that the question asks, literally choose a middle number that's not too high.
Some people treat the MCAT like beast that must be tamed. I find that it helps if you give tests connotations as such or even like like food.
Some people on reddit were referring to their mcat date as: "I'm going to eat 9/9". Was hilarious.

Fidget spinner
Nah I'm kidding haha. But honestly, being well prepared and having confidence in myself and my answers helped me tremendously.
I don't think that'll help... I just need to find out why I'm making stupid mistakes...
It's so ridiculous. I feel so frustrated with this. I literally miss the easy questions. I just don't understand how some people don't stress about it.
People go talk to counselors for this sort of thing all the time!
Then go to your school's learning or education center.
In addition, SDNers should not view seeking help as a loss of face or a sign of weakness.
HOW DID YOU NOT HAVE ANXIETY WHEN YOU TOOK ORGO AND THE MCAT
Yeah you're right about that
Propranolol or Sertraline. Better living through science!

Because i felt prepared when I took the MCAT? You know how they say don't take it until you're ready? That's exactly what I did. Some in test meditation helped too. Kept me on track and focused.
But i guess that's a lie. Organic was the first time I ever experienced test anxiety. Ever. Only after my first exam, which Ifailed.
