Summary
Human being is in a learning process during the all of his/her life. All the works that individuals learned and experienced forms the knowledge. The learnings we experienced in our lives constitute our performance. In other words, it is the way in which a person activates his experiences with his mind, emotion and behavior in the right time and situation. When a person can activate the full potential, the best performance comes out. Even though education and examination are under consideration to be inseparable, this system induces some problems for students. Anxiety that causes stress and distress related to the situation of the person depending on the process is "state anxiety". With the disappearance of these, situation-related anxiety disappears. Constant anxiety (perpetual anxiety) accompanies the person throughout his/her life and manifests itself more in some situations and spreads throughout his life (Baltaş, 2017)
