Research on the Current Situation of Chinese College Students Test Anxiety

Abstract

Comparing the study pressure of todays students with those of the past, it is obvious that there are heavier bags, more homework, and less sleep time. Students learning pressure is getting heavier and heavier, and there is more and more anxiety about learning. In a specific time period every year, this pressure and anxiety will reach an explosive point, and this time period is often a period of time for students to take exams. This paper focuses on the overall degree of Test Anxiety among Chinese college students and conducts a Chinese-style questionnaire survey of the Test Anxiety Scale. Most Chinese students have a high or very highest anxiety index. This paper analyzes the current situation at the different examination stages for students, namely, before, during, and after the examination. It also provides different relief plans for different students with different test anxiety indexes, such as how to better prepare for exams or adjust their mentality.
