Explanation

Over preparation (studying thoroughly, practicing, knowing material well) is the most effective antidote for test anxiety because it increases confidence and reduces uncertainty. Thought suppression often backfires (white bear effect). Regression is a defense mechanism unrelated to test prep. Discussing with the professor can help but is situational and less universally effective than thorough preparation.
