A study was conducted at Oxnard College to assess the effectiveness of a multimodal orientation program designed by the college's Assessment Center to reduce test anxiety traumas by explaining theories of stress and techniques for stress reduction, self-help breathing, muscle relaxation, and creative visualization. The Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) was administered to a control group of 24 students who did not participate in the orientation session and to an experimental group of 24 students who took the TAI after the orientation session. TAI results indicated that the students who participated in the orientation session had significantly lower test anxiety, worry, and emotionality levels than those who did not participate. Participants indicated to the Assessment Center staff that they appreciated the time and attention that was focused on their test anxiety prior to taking tests at the Center, and that they would be interested in more in-depth information related to test-taking strategies and relaxation techniques. The TAI and an outline of the orientation program are appended. (EJV)
