All test anxiety peak performance coaching clients receive this manual, a $19.95 value, at no charge.

If you answered yes to even one of these questions you should know there is help. You do not need to suffer. There is a proven program that can help you reduce test stress, enhance learning, improve test scores and give you peace of mind back into your life. It's called the Test Anxiety Peak Performance Program.

"I worked with Bill when I was studying for my ophthalmology board exam, a huge career mile marker and one that was making me fearful and anxious. I knew that I needed to take control of my mindset in order to study effectively and perform at my peak level on exam day. I also knew that I needed some help. I turned to Bill and couldn’t be happier that I did. He is an extraordinary coach. Bill explains complicated concepts in easy-to-understand ways, and has a calm and confident demeanor that settles even the most anxious nerves. I drew calm and confidence from my phone sessions with Bill. And the skills that I developed during my conversations with him, including visualization techniques, paid off big time when I was studying for my board exam and when I arrived on exam day. The mental game that Bill helped me get a handle on filled me with deep-seated confidence when it came time for me to take the exam. I felt like I was “in the zone” during the entire 4-hour, 250 multiple-choice question endeavor. At times, I actually caught myself enjoying the experience of taking the exam. In my mind, passing was a foregone conclusion. When I found out that I did pass, it was one of the best moments of my life. And I couldn’t have done it without the strategies and insights that I learned from Bill Cole—I’m sure of that."
Stephen A. Blatt, MD
Board-Certified Ophthalmologist

"Bill Cole has not only helped me, but also has supported family members and friends for mental game coaching over the years. He has been an invaluable resource for the mind in academic, personal, and professional settings. The results speak for themselves: test scores have risen to ultimately obtain scholarship funding, interview skills have progressed for new opportunities, and aspirational jobs have been secured by loved ones.

I first approached Bill several years ago in response to my struggles on the GMAT assessment for entry into business school to study an MBA. Together we reviewed the diagnosis of my issues to jointly identify the core problems and develop associated solutions. Bill took the time to actively listen, carefully understand, and provide tailored feedback based on the breadth and depth of his extensive experience across domains as varied as sports, sales, interviews, public speaking, and test-taking. As a matter of fact, he has written the books and authored the assignments used during and between meetings to teach and reinforce lessons. I appreciated that he was genuinely invested in my success and easily adapted to diverse needs.

Bill taught me the test-taking strategies and tactics to remain calm, centered, concentrated, and resilient in high-pressure situations to perform to the best of my abilities on the exam. We covered breathing techniques for stress management and energy control with visualization exercises and routines to build the necessary confidence for consistency in my performance. His advice was practical and actionable, such as the need to expose myself to the same tensions in practice tests in order to reproduce the conditions of the actual exam. Eventually I learned how to regulate negative self-talk and overcome perfectionism for more effective execution.

Following our sessions, I managed to significantly increase my GMAT score by +80 points from a 61st to an 83rd percentile! The improved marks would allow me to turn around previous application rejections, and eventually secure scholarship funding for an MBA at the University of Oxford.

More recently, we have worked on interview preparation and delivery through storytelling, self-awareness, and frequently asked questions. I’m now able to better articulate my narrative and value proposition in consulting engagements and employer conversations. Altogether the coaching and training have positively spilled over into other areas of life, from team management to presentations and interpersonal relations. I’m grateful for Bill Cole’s services and would recommend them to anyone encountering mindset challenges in the pursuit of their ambitions "

Quick Links for Test Anxiety Stress Reduction Program

How Stress And Anxiety Ruin Studying And Test Performance


A certain amount of stress about tests helps a student get motivated and study hard, but when the stress goes past the ideal levels, many problems begin.

Test anxiety prior to an exam can ruin study habits. The stress can make it difficult to concentrate, read, understand and retain material, think analytically, plan and execute study strategies, be creative and stay focused on the work.

Exam anxiety can directly cause mental stress symptoms such as racing thoughts, confusion, fears, the mind going blank, negative thinking, rushing, self-sabotage, memory loss, fear of failure, irritability, worry and a self-critical attitude.

Exam anxiety can also cause physical stress symptoms such as muscle tension, gastric issues, emotional issues, energy loss and racing heartbeat, among others.

Finally, in extreme forms, exam anxiety can cause nightmares, panic attacks, avoidance behavior, flashbacks, generalized anxiety, moodiness, eating disorders, sleep disorders, obsessive thinking, perfectionism, and self-defeating behaviors.

Test Takers Need Mental Toughness


Some people love to take tests. They see them as a challenge and a puzzle to be solved. Other people see test taking as a threat and something to be avoided at all costs. Whichever camp you are in, test-taking does carry some stress. To minimize this stress, the smart test taker considers as many of the stressors that surround tests, both before and during, and devises ways to surmount them. Some of these can be avoided. Some can be changed. But many stressors simply have to be endured. That's where excellent preparation and mental toughness come in. Mental toughness is the ability to maintain focus, discipline and confidence in the face of stress. To perform to your potential in any test, you have to have this toughness.

Without the proper levels of mental toughness, focus and self-awareness, self-discipline and stress control skills, you cannot reach your full potential.

Free On-Line Test Anxiety Assessment


A good starting place is to complete this 5-minute on-line test stress control assessment, at no charge.

Please retain a copy and we can arrange a no-obligation ten-minute phone conversation with Bill at no charge. In that phone call he will review your assessment, answer your questions, explain the stress control coaching process, and make suggestions and recommendations as to how you can improve and strengthen your test-taking performance.

Taking this on-line assessment prior to the phone call is not required, but it is strongly suggested, as we find it provides excellent focus for this initial phone session. If you prefer to make the call first, please be prepared to discuss your situation in detail and what you are looking to achieve from this type of coaching.
