Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Test and testing are part of all educational programmes. In basic nursing school classroom content is complex, the scope is broad and the pace is accelerated. Frequent testing of students is necessary throughout the  programme  for  evaluation of progress in mastering content.

Also at the  end  of  planned instruction, preliminary training stage (PTS), junior block, intermediate block, students are given examinations.Their performance in such examinations is used  to make decisions that impact on the students. Examination performance  thus is  an important issue for the students.

Students finishing their PTS verbalize and exhibit a great deal of anxiety regarding PTS examinations.

Anxiety is one of those emotional components of human life; it is a basic human emotion consisting of fear and uncertainty that typically appears when an individual perceives an event as being a threat to the ego or self-esteem (Sarason, 1988 in Eric Digests 2005).

When students develop serious fear of performing poorly in an examination it is termed test anxiety.

According to Zeidner  (1998), test anxiety is a multidimensional sign that can be described as a group of phenomenological, physiological, and behavioral reactions that  occur  with possible negative consequences or failure in an examination or similar evaluative situation.

Test anxiety especially worry has impact on academic performance and working memory (Eysenk, 2001).
