Jim Wand’s Test Taking hypnosis audio applies the same clinical hypnosis techniques he’s used with private clients for decades, built around a common and frustrating problem: knowing the material cold, then blanking, rushing, or second-guessing yourself the moment the test actually starts.

The suggestions on this recording prepare a person for all types of tests (multiple choice, essays, fill in the blank, etc.) and make one comfortable in any testing situation. Learn how to overcome test anxiety.

How to Use Your Recording

For the best possible results, please follow these instructions as closely as you can. This recording is designed to help reinforce a new mental pattern connected to the change you want to make. Repetition is important, so we recommend listening consistently for at least 27–30 consecutive days.

For Best Results

1. Listen at least once each day.
Bedtime is an excellent time to use the recording because your mind and body are naturally beginning to relax. It is perfectly fine to fall asleep while listening. You may play the recording quietly on a loop throughout the night if you find that comfortable. Keep the volume low enough that it does not disturb your sleep.

2. Choose a quiet, comfortable setting.
When listening during the day, find a place where you can relax without being interrupted. Never listen while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires your full attention.

3. Continue for the full 27–30 days.
Even if you begin noticing positive changes sooner, continue using the recording for the entire recommended period. Consistent repetition helps reinforce and strengthen the new pattern.  Remember: YOU’VE GOT THIS!

Test anxiety often has nothing to do with preparation. Someone can know the material thoroughly and still freeze on a question they’d answer easily outside a testing environment, simply because the pressure of the test itself interferes with recall. This program works on that interference directly — staying calm enough under time pressure to actually access what you’ve studied, rather than adding more study time on top of a nervous system that reacts the same way every time.

Self-hypnosis is well suited to this because test anxiety is largely an automatic subconscious response rather than a conscious choice to panic. The American Psychological Association’s overview of hypnosis describes how a focused, receptive state can make someone more responsive to specific suggestion, which is why this program works at the same subconscious level where test anxiety originates.

The suggestions in this program are built to apply across test formats — multiple choice, essay, fill-in-the-blank — rather than one specific type of exam, since the underlying anxiety response tends to be similar regardless of format. Students preparing for a specific high-stakes exam sometimes pair this with Power Learning for a more complete approach to both the studying and the testing itself.

Jim Wand developed this approach across years of one-on-one clinical hypnosis sessions, later adapting it specifically for the pressure of testing situations. Most listeners get the best results using this recording consistently in the days leading up to a test, not just the night before.

Test anxiety tends to feed on itself — one bad testing experience makes the next one feel higher-stakes, which increases the anxiety further. Breaking that cycle at the subconscious level tends to produce more lasting improvement than trying to reason your way out of nerves each time a test comes around.
