Relevance of resilience to the primary SATs protest

Writing about web page http://theconversation.com/profiles/laura-nicholson-263501

"... there are differences in how SATs are viewed by different children. Some perceive them to be stressful, while others view them as a challenge.

... How resilient a child is can reduce the negative effects of test anxiety on performance. Specifically, children who believe they can succeed, trust and seek comfort from others easily and who are not overly sensitive, can be better at combatting the problems associated with test anxiety. Parents may therefore help their children by attempting to nurture and boost their resilience."
