Masters in Practice: Overcoming Test Anxiety w/ Ben Lovett

Test anxiety isn’t just background noise in our clinics and classrooms—it’s the silent force holding clients back, often misunderstood and mismanaged. In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Ben Lovett, leading researcher and co-author of "Overcoming Test Anxiety," we push past tired myths and reveal why nearly every student faces these struggles—and most interventions miss the mark. Dr. Lovett breaks down what actually helps (and what can make it worse), how common strategies like extended time can backfire, and which evidence-based, actionable tools empower clients to build true confidence and resilience. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, this episode delivers practical strategies, critical nuance, and fresh perspectives you’ll want to use tomorrow with your most anxious test-takers. With this we hope you enjoy this Masters in Practice episode: Overcoming Test Anxiety with/ Ben Lovett
