Pre-exam anxiety among students and its coping mechanism

Zulfiqar Ahmed.

Abstract
Test anxiety is an arising issue of today’s academia. Present research attempted to explore its hidden realities in view of types, causes, prevalence, impact and coping mechanism. Test anxiety and educational performance has an inverse relation. General prevalence has been estimated from 30 to 40 percent in all schools. Female students have more anxiety as compared to male students. Major causes arise from parental attitudes, expectations of high grades, admission in good institutions, job market, work load, lack of preparation, inappropriate test techniques and home-school maladjustment. This problem may be addressed through simulation, yoga, behavior modification, therapeutic approaches, guidance and counseling. Pharmacological measures are effective in severe symptoms only.

Key words: Test anxiety, yoga, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), counselling, beta blockers
