Iam preparing for a test in psychology, and i tell you, "i’m sure that i’m going to fail. i’m going to study all night, and i’ll just be happy with anything higher than a c." you are preparing for the same test and you say, "oh, come on. we’ve been going to lecture and keeping up with the reading—we just need to review everything tonight and i’m sure we’ll do well on the test." what would research concerning pessimistic and optimistic strategies predict about our out-comes?

 We will get about the same grades on the test.

Explanation:

In optimistic strategies, people tend to set high and positive expectations. They are mostly used by the people who are not anxious. People with high optimistic strategies try to avoid thinking too much on the outcome and they have firm belief that out come will be good or positive.

Whereas a pessimistic strategies, people tend to prepare for the worst. They are used by the anxious people who try to manage their curiosity and stress so as to work productively.

In the given context, the outcome from research concerning pessimistic and optimistic strategies can predict that both of us will get about the same grades in the psychology test.

Hence the answer is ---

We will get about the same grades on the test.
