Anxiety, stress, and coping

Spence SH, Duric V, Roeder U

Plain English
This study looked at how anxiety affects test performance among students. Researchers found that students who were highly anxious about tests scored lower than their less anxious peers, with high anxiety students rating their own performance lower as well. Importantly, both groups tended to be overly optimistic about how well they would do in the first test, but only highly anxious students accurately assessed their performance afterwards. Who this helps: This helps students with test anxiety understand their performance better.
