Abstract

Test anxiety is one of the real problems among many students. The present study on Test anxiety and academic achievement in relation to some demographic variables among student population at the Faculty of Education of Afif- Shaqra  University, is to examine the relation between students' test anxiety and academic achievement  in the light of some academic variables (gender, specialization, level of study, grade. The population of this study consists of students of the Faculty of Education of Afif. The sample of the study consists of 216 students with 151 males and 65 females. 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. There is, indeed, higher test anxiety among male students than female. There are also statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) or lower in the measurements of students' test anxiety among students according to the variable of the academic average. The study is therefore a means to promote students' self-confidence and enhance their self-esteem through teaching them to talk explicitly and express their desires freely and have the courage to say no.
