As acute stress related to testing impacts a majority of Gen Z students, Quizlet coins ‘examiety’ in collaboration with The Jed Foundation to address exam-related anxiety

SAN FRANCISCO – August 30, 2022 – A new U.S. survey examining Gen Z attitudes on test-taking and mental health shows that students consistently struggle with feelings of anxiety tied to tests and exams. In fact, 86% of respondents indicated they have experienced exam anxiety, with 76% saying they have experienced it in the past six months. To address the relatable stress students feel around test-taking, global learning platform Quizlet has coined the term ‘examiety’ to describe the physical and emotional reactions that interfere with a student’s ability to perform well on exams.

Quizlet commissioned a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. Gen Z students to gain further insight on the impact of anxiety, studying, and learning in a post-pandemic world. Key takeaways include:

• Examiety negatively affects other aspects of the school experience: 68% of students admit that the apprehension and anxiousness that comes with test taking negatively affects the social aspect of their school lives. Gen Z students feel that test anxiety leads to poor exam performance (29%), lower self-confidence (28%), and a lower tendency to ask teachers for help (12%).
• Students feel exam stress negatively impacts the future: Nearly half of respondents (42%) consistently worry that test anxiety will negatively impact their academic future.
• Boosting accessibility to mental health resources during exams is vital to academic success: Only 24% of respondents said they seek help from school counselors when they are feeling stress related to tests and studying. What’s more, 43% of Gen Z students never reach out to their community, classmates, or family to talk about school related stress and mental health.            

“Exam anxiety is real, especially having moved from high school to college with virtual learning and having to re-adjust to the experience of taking exams in person,” said Alexandra Berardelli, a sophomore at College of the Holy Cross. “Even when I’ve prepared and studied countless hours, my heart still beats out of my chest when entering the exam room. While I know I’m not alone in feeling this way, it’s not something I talk about with my friends or seek help to manage.”

To provide meaningful resources for students to address examiety, Quizlet and The Jed Foundation, a non-profit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults, have developed the Examiety Resource Guide. This resource guide was crafted with input from trained clinicians and offers tips, insights and guidance to equip students with information to address and manage their exam-related anxiety.

“Giving a name to a feeling of anxiety can often help to take the power from it and enable healthy ways to address it,” said Dr. Laura Erickson-Scroth, Chief Medical Officer, The Jed Foundation. “We are seeing an overwhelming amount of students dealing with the stress of the past two years, compounded with the ongoing pressures of today’s education landscape. Through listening to Gen Z, we’ve learned the best way to support is to give them tools and resources to prioritize their mental health. In this case, it’s helping to identify triggers and manage the common and understandable anxiety associated with one aspect of the school experience.”

When it comes to the top stressors for students, schoolwork has a significant impact on their mental health. A prior survey commissioned by Quizlet reported nearly half of students found  final exams and end-of-semester grades as top sources of stress impacting their mental wellbeing, indicating a continued need for tools like Quizlet that facilitate personalized learning and help students confidently navigate their learning journey.

“As students across the country head back to school both in-person and online, we understand they are juggling an increasingly uncertain world, new pressures and competing priorities,” said Matt Glotzbach, Chief Executive Officer, Quizlet. “Quizlet helps students reach their full potential and our research shows that examiety is a major barrier preventing students from accomplishing their goals. By shining a light on examiety and providing a resource for students to better manage this specific source of anxiety, our aim is to support students’ mental health and wellbeing, and ultimately set them up to learn more efficiently and effectively.”

The survey exploring exam anxiety was fielded in July and August 2022, with a sample of 1,000 U.S. students between the ages of 18-25. For more information, please contact QuizletUS@allisonpr.com.

The 2022 College Confidence Index by GradGuard and College Pulse shows most college students and families are uninformed about tuition refund policies, while four in ten college students have considered withdrawing; common reasons for withdrawal include academic challenges, financial concerns, and health issues or physical injury.

Boston, MA (August 17, 2022) – New data published in the 2022 College Confidence Index by GradGuard and College Pulse reveals 83 percent of college students are completely, very or somewhat confident “they will earn enough money to make the cost of college worth it.” Parents of college students feel confident that a college education will allow their children to get a good job (63 percent) and that it is worth the investment (60 percent). And yet, only 36 percent of parents of college students say they feel confident they can pay for four years of their child’s college education.

At the same time, college students and their parents are uninformed about how withdrawing might impact them financially, specifically when it comes to their school’s tuition refund policy. Most college students (74 percent) and parents of college students (66 percent) report they are not at all or not too familiar with the tuition refund policy at their school. Meanwhile, four in ten students have considered withdrawing due to financial issues (35 percent), academic challenges (34 percent), health issues, illness or injury (12 percent) and family issues (8 percent). Eleven percent of students cited other reasons for potential withdrawal.

John Fees, Co-Founder and Managing Director of GradGuard, said, “It is critical to better understand the confidence of the nearly 20 million students and parent consumers have in making a substantial investment in education. This year’s report is a timely reminder for students and families, that college life is not risk-free and that they are smart to protect their investment like other large consumer purchases.”

College Pulse surveyed 1,500 current and prospective college students and 500 parents about their perceptions regarding the value, affordability, and viability of a college education. An overall Confidence Index of 46.1 out of 100 was determined using those criteria, signaling room for improvement within higher education to gain the confidence of consumers. Additional findings from the index include:

• Seventeen percent of all college students report knowing someone who withdrew from school due to health issues, illness or injury
• Students of color are more likely to say a college education is one of the most or very important factors for success including 73 percent of Hispanic/Latino students, 62 percent of Black students, and 58 percent of Asian students. In contrast, just 52 percent of white students say the same.
• Every day or nearly every day, a significant number of students are dealing with challenges to their personal wellbeing, such as feelings of anxiety or stress (48 percent), trouble sleeping (34 percent), and feelings of depression (29 percent)

Additionally, financial anxieties about affordability remain high and weigh most heavily on college students who rely on financial aid.

Six in ten (60 percent) college students say they are very or somewhat concerned about being able to pay for college. These concerns are particularly acute amongst students on financial aid, of whom 63 percent say they are concerned about their ability to afford college. This worry is shared by less than half (45 percent) of students not on financial aid.

“Consumer confidence indices already exist across several key industries providing economists, industry leaders, and the general public insight into the current and future conditions of vital sectors of our economy. Given the strong influence of higher education on the U.S. economy, we recognized the need for data on consumer confidence in the value and viability of a college education,” said Terren Klein, CEO and co-founder of College Pulse.

The full 2022 College Confidence Index by GradGuard and College Pulse can be downloaded free of cost on the College Pulse website.

Pre-Signups for zant. Be amongst the first.

[BRIDGEWATER, NEW JERSEY, JULY 14, 2022] With the stress of school and looming post-graduation adulthood, many students struggle with their mental health but do not have access to or cannot afford quality care. A new startup is disrupting the space with low cost, high-quality mental health services through an app called “zant.” They have recently announced that they are now accepting pre-registrations from college students. The company plans to offer its services at $25 per session with flexibility for less and will provide access to mental health professionals in over 20 niche categories across the nation.

Zant.’s founder and CEO, Maggie Rose Macar, created the app after struggling to find a professional for herself. “I had just lost a close friend to suicide and needed to see someone, but was shocked when I finally found someone I thought could help and they were $150 per session,” said Macar. “zant. solves many problems, but affordability is at the core. We make this as headache free as possible and eliminate the many roadblocks that stop those struggling from getting the help they need.”

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 college students experience mental illness and 75% of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 24. This mobile app, zant., is looking to fill the gap in affordable, accessible mental health care for this population. College students can choose from a variety of professionals, from trauma specialists, eating disorder mentors, stress and college life coaches, and more. App users will have access to a secure chat room where they can share information with their professionals and other members of their treatment team. Sessions are conducted via phone or video call which remain confidential.

Zant. is quickly gaining traction among college students through its growing list of pre-registrations. The soon-to-launch app’s goal is to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in college and beyond. In addition to mental health services, zant. also offers student wellness programs to help students maintain a healthy lifestyle through their college or university. Zant. believes that providing student mental health services and student wellness programs, will help students succeed in college and life. Users can join the zant. community and pre-register here.

America’s Diner Collaborates with TikTok Stars on Limited Time Sweet and Savory Meals

SPARTANBURG, S.C., June 16, 2022 – It’s Summertime 2022 and Denny’s is the official hotspot for guests wanting to make the most of the season. For a limited time starting June 22, guests can enjoy the deliciousness of summer with three mouthwatering meals from Denny’s newest Social Stars Influenced Menu.

To sweeten up summer, Denny’s collaborated with Dmitri Robinson (@.Meech) and Kelz Wright (@kelz) on the newest addition to Denny’s pancake lineup: Shortberry Dream Cakes. These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are topped with vanilla cream, fresh strawberries, shortbread cookie pieces, and strawberry sauce – it’s so good you’d be surprised it isn’t dessert. To make this meal even better, Denny’s is serving up one of the most irresistible flavor combinations – sweet and savory – by pairing the Shortberry Dream Cakes with eggs, hash browns and your choice of bacon strips or sausage links.

Want more mouthwatering deliciousness? Say less. Denny’s partnered with The Rapping Chef (@_MRPYREX) and Grace Africa (@Grace_Africa) on the Brisket-It-All Melt. This next-level melt is made up of slow-smoked brisket burnt ends, crispy diced bacon, two eggs, sharp white cheddar, Diner Q sauce and pickles on grilled artisan bread. If all that wasn’t enough, the melt is also served with wavy-cut fries.

If you’re feeling a bit saucy, then the Brisk-B-Q Melt is for you. It has the same slow-smoked brisket aged as the Brisk-It-All Melt, minus the bacon and eggs, and topped with white cheddar, Diner Q sauce and pickles on grilled artisan bread and with a side of wavy-cut fries. This delectable melt is sure to become the go-to sandwich of the summer.

“As the official restaurant of summer, we’ve got a ton in store that will take summer to another level for our guests and we’re kicking it off with our latest Social Stars Influenced Menu,” said John Dillon, Chief Brand Officer of Denny’s. “Whether guests want sweet strawberries with our Shortberry Dream Cakes or enjoy a tasty cookout everyday with our juicy Brisket Melts, they can count on Denny’s to make this the most delicious summer ever.”

These new menu items are the latest installment in Denny’s Social Stars Influenced Menu that features meals inspired by 24 popular TikTok creators tapped by the iconic brand to put their own personal spin on new Denny’s menu items. These Limited Time Only (LTO) meals will be available at all Denny’s locations nationwide starting June 22, and can be conveniently ordered in-restaurant, online at dennys.com or through the new Denny’s iOS and Android app.

America’s Diner brings the comfort of Denny’s to guests’ homes with new line of apparel and gear

SPARTANBURG, S.C., June 3, 2022 – The new Denny’s Social Stars Influenced Menu co-created by TikTok* content makers hit restaurants in February as part of the brand’s new limited-time menu options. Today, just in time for summer, Denny’s is launching DinerDrip.com, an online merch store offering fun and unique gear, accessories and more specifically designed for fans of the iconic brand.

For the first time, America’s Diner is making it easier than ever for guests to showcase their brand love whenever and wherever they want with items that are available exclusively from Denny’s. Inspired by America’s Diner’s famous coffee and the smooth “drip” of the brand’s pancake syrup, the branded merch evokes the same warm and welcoming feelings guests feel walking into their local restaurant.

“We love to feed people – bodies, minds and souls and launching a new merch store is another way for us to feed the love that our guests have for the Denny’s brand,” said Denny’s Chief Brand Officer John Dillon. “The first four collections celebrate the food and heritage that makes us America’s Diner and represent a range of ages, backgrounds and lifestyles that appeal to the diversity of our guests tastes – on and off the menu.”

Whether guests are treating themselves to new gear for summer outings or gifting dad a Father’s Day present, DinerDrip.com has something for everyone. Denny’s debuted 15 new items across four unique collections including:

• Social Stars: This limited-edition series is inspired by the brand’s new Social Stars Influenced Menu items and includes a first-of-its kind rolling pin that imprints the Denny’s logo onto baked creations, a Denny’s Clearly Very Fruity transparent umbrella and Jala-Bac Burger collectible lapel pins.

• Fluff: A comfy collection inspired by Denny’s fluffy pancakes that includes “Live Laugh Fluff” sweatshirts, joggers and a fluffy bucket hat.

• Since 1953: Steeped in heritage, this collection combines fashion favorites – t-shirts, rope hats and the classic denim trucker jacket – with retro Denny’s logos and imagery with a modern twist.

• The Classics: Created for those who love timeless fashion, this collection features seasonless, everyday wearables and fashion items.

Denny’s new merch collections are available while supplies last and can be found at DinerDrip.com and Dennys.com. The new merch store will feature limited-edition merchandise that will be updated with new collections throughout the year. Purchases from DinerDrip.com will support the brand’s Hungry for Education Scholarship to help to fight childhood hunger and promote education for elementary, high school and college students across the country.
