Such anxiety can duplicate negative effects in different aspects of a student’s life such as mental and physical disorders, inadequate self-confidence, retreating to alcoholic drinks and the feeling of insecurity.In this research the body of previous research has been reviewed and highly valid scientific websites were visited in order to collect the required data.Findings of the present research indicate that test anxiety can lower students’ academic achievement and have other negative effects on the other aspects of life.
