General Test and State Anxiety in Real Examinations: State Is Not Test Anxiety.
Gross, Thomas F.
Educational Research Quarterly, v14 n3 p11-20 1990
Performance of 80 college students on class examinations was studied in relation to self-reported levels of state, trait, and general test anxiety. Data show no relationship between state anxiety and performance. However, general test anxiety was related to examination performance. Test anxious students may not prepare well for examinations.
