Taran Stadanlick, 26, a nursing major, from Levittown, said, math stresses her out.
“If you get less than a 90 percent you have to be in a math final. If you score less than a 90 percent there you fail and have to repeat nursing. Talk about pressure. It is overwhelming and I sometimes draw blanks because of my nerves” Stadanlick said.
Does your head start spinning and heart start pounding as you look at the numbers in front of you in math class? Do you break out into a sweat and your mind goes blank? If so, you probably are suffering from math anxiety.
This can cripple a student’s dreams of graduating with the degree they had always thought they would attain. There are many students out there who just don’t “get it” when it comes to math. For some students the subject of math comes easily and they find it enjoyable while others agonize over the simple word algebra.
