Abstract
The study investigated the stability of the internal dialogue and self-reported arousal of test anxious students during an actual college examination. Based on procedures and measures developed by Galassi, Frierson and Sharer (1981) data were collected during a psychology exam and again 1 week later. It was found that high test anxious students have more negative thoughts and report more arousal during an exam than less test anxious students. Further, negative thoughts and self-reported arousal were found to be consistent across time, while positive thoughts were unstable. Results were consistent with those previously reported and support cognitive models of test anxiety.
