My boyfriend is taking his national paramedic registry test this weekend. This past year has been really tough on him going through the paramedic program he went through. It was tough but he made it through it and graduated. He is so smart and he knows the material. I am so proud of him.
The problem is he has had so many past issues with test taking (because he is dyslexic) and is very much still in the process of building his confidence in himself when it comes to reading and writing. This national registry test is HARD. More than 3/4 of his programs graduating class did not pass it the first time.
He took the test once and did not pass because he ran out of time and they couldn't completely grade his test. I know he can pass this test, but I can tell he is losing confidence in himself and I worry that he is going to psych himself out so much that he won't do as well as I know he can on the test.
What can I do to boost his confidence in himself? he knows I am beyond proud of him. he knows that I have complete faith in him. But I need to find ways to help him relax and be confident. Ideas?
