The research approach is the descriptive analytical method based on the test anxiety scale of Ismail Ali's et al, after modifying some of its paragraphs to suit the Saudi environment. The research confirms that are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) measurements of students' test anxiety according to gender variable, and the differences were in favor of females compared to males.
