My 14 year old is struggling in Yeshiva. He is so determined to succeed and yet is failing. He has a good head and I can't figure out what the issue is. He started yeshiva ketana this year and it is a change. They have tests every Friday on the whole gemara. He studies hard and understands and yet at time of test he is so nervous and tells me the stuff simply flies out of his head. He reviews right before and claims he knows the material. How can we help him? I'm wondering if he has a processing issue.

Perhaps, and if so, how can we help him?

Speak to his rav. Does he think your DS is understanding the material during shiur?
Could his rav test him orally one time, and if DS gets stuck he could give him hints - help him along, and this way get an idea if your son is actually understanding the gemara.
If the rav comes to the conclusion that he really does have a good understanding of the material, then you need to work out how he can get over the anxiety of sitting the test.
It could even be that once your DS has sat with the rav, and the rav has shown his confidence in him, that he really does know his stuff, he will feel more comfortable doing the test
.
Would he be allowed to approach the rav during the test, for a hint, to get him going maybe
.
It all depends how willing his rav is in helping him along in gaining confidence.
