Hang in there. I cannot say I have any test taking tips. I always did great on multiple choice exams but essays threw me for a loop. I just think I psyched myself out. If I were going to school again, I guess I would try meditation and other relaxation stuff. I would also try to have more trust in myself and all the hard work I did. I used to always be in a space where I would fault myself endlessly and no matter what I did for school it wasn't enough-to my point of view. I think just thinking so negatively hurt me when it came to exams. I think people told me at the time to do my best and then let go but I couldn't hear it. I don't even know what a praxis exam is but please believe in yourself, you are worth it.
