For better test scores, put your worries into words.   A new study from the University of Chicago   finds that test takers achieve significantly better scores when they write for ten minutes about their anxieties just before testing.  The study did not look specifically at language learners, but recording your worries in English could give an even bigger advantage for TOEIC testing, not only reducing anxiety but also giving you a "warm-up" for the writing questions ahead.
