| Test anxiety involves a combination of physiological over-arousal, worry and dread about test performance, and often interferes with normal learning and lowers test performance. It is prevalent amongst the student populations of the world, and has been studied formally since the early 1950s.
Test anxiety has been shown to have a consistently negative relationship with test performance, and test anxious students are found to perform about 12 percentile points below their non-anxious peers. |
