摘要：Test anxiety is a relatively stable trait. Periodic tests and examinations at all stages of education have become an integral part of evaluating students in our competitive education system. Students are subjected to a wide variety of testing situations, such as school examinations, scholastic-achievement tests, intelligence tests (Ackerman & Heggestad, 1997; Hembree, 1988; Zeidner, 1998) and entrance examinations. Test and examination stress is thought to prevent some individuals from reaching their academic potential. It has been found that students consistently perceive examination as a source of increase in anxiety and a situation engulfed with uncertainty/unfairness in letting them demonstrate their true achievements (Zollar & Ben-chain, 1990; Spielberger, 1985). It will be interesting to investigate text anxiety as a contributing factor in student achievement among Indian students in institutions of higher education, as it is generally perceived that institutions of higher education in India have very rigid system of tests/examination having high stakes in students' academic career
