Hello, Sal here from Khan Academy.

So when you hear the word meditation, for many of y'all, it might evoke some type of new age thing that has nothing to do with standardized tests. And if you're about to take a standardized test, I'm sure there's many thoughts about, "Am I prepared? Am I going to do well? I hope I don't bomb the exam."

That stress and that anxiety is, if anything, going to hurt your performance on these things that you want to do well. And so meditation is a way to help still that. But it's really just for you to observe your thoughts, not get stressed out about it.

If your thoughts start to wander, then just bring them back, and try to not think or think about just very positive thoughts. I think if you do that, you're going to find you're going to be happier. You're going to be more positive; all sorts of positive energy is going to be attracted to you.

And even though that's not the most important thing in the world, you'll do just fine on these tests that, right now, you might be worrying about.
