Hey, just so you know, feeling some academic anxiety is completely normal – everyone experiences it at some point. It’s just your brain’s way of saying, “Hey, this stuff is important to me.” The cool thing about these survey results? They’re like a personal guide to show you the support options out there. Think of them as a roadmap to help you navigate through the stress and find what works best for you. So, no worries, there’s plenty of support to get you through it. That includes your very own ConfideNCe Program team who is here to support you.

Below, you’ll find tailored recommendations based on your Academic Anxiety Scale score (i.e., Moderate Academic Anxiety). Since anxiety can fluctuate, we recommend checking out tips for each category and connecting with your ConfideNCe Program team. We’ll also reach out to schedule some 1:1 time to chat about your results and the supports that are available to you.

Alright, let’s dive into your results and explore the next steps to help you navigate your first year of your program!
