Osa-edoh GI and Okonta

Anxiety as a psychological concept is required at some tolerable level to help students to get revived and perform optimally in learning environment. It becomes catastrophic when its effect is beyond human adaptive level and hence maladaptive effects. The generalized feeling of apprehension usually accompanied by physiological upset is capable to obliterate learner's good academic performance. To ascertain this fact, correlations study of lest anxiety and test performance was conducted among senior secondary school students in S.S. III. The results shows that a relationship exists between test anxiety and test performance among subjects that composed the sample of the study. A larger sample of subjects is recommended for further investigation to verify this claim.
