Abstract

The present study examined the relationship between anxiety about exam question types and students’ attitudes, test motivation, and exam success. The sample was 121 middle school pupils in Sakarya, Turkey, aged 11 to 15 years. Data obtained from scales on attitude, anxiety, and test motivation were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and regression analyses. The findings indicate that anxiety about exam question type was significantly negatively related to attitude, test motivation, and exam success. Moreover, attitudes about question type were significantly positively related to test motivation and exam success, and test motivation was also significantly positively related to exam success. Regression analysis results showed that students' anxiety about exam question types was predicted by their attitudes and exam success but was not predicted by test motivation.
