Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that academic underachievers are characterized by low motivation and that low test anxiety may be an indicator of this. Compared with high-test-anxious students, those with low scores on both scales of the Achievement Anxiety Test were less anxious before a test, studied less for it, and got more sleep the night before. Low-anxious students also performed less well on the test and showed improved performance when made more anxious. Although not all of the differences were statistically significant, the pattern of results was congruent with expectations.
