Do I get pre-test jitters? Yes, I do. I get super stressed out. I usually sit in silence for about 5 minutes, so I can gain more clarity on the test I have to take. I am aware of the recent research in which meditating brings about dramatic effects in as little as a 10-minute session. Several studies have demonstrated that subjects who meditated for a short time showed increased alpha waves (the relaxed brain waves) and decreased anxiety and depression. I personally love meditation. I have been meditating for five years now.
