The Development of “the Exam Preparation and On-exam Anxiety Scale”
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The main goal of this study is to develop a new test anxiety scale and to initially explore the impact of anxiety on academic performance in the “exam preparation stage” and “on-exam stage” separately for high school students.
Description
In this study, I tried to categorize scale items into exam preparation stage and on-exam stage anxiety manifestation based on items from past developed test anxiety scales, and further developed the Exam Preparation and On-exam Anxiety Scale according to eighteen high school students’ in-depth interviews.
The Exam Preparation and On-exam Anxiety Scale included two subscales, namely, Exam Preparation Anxiety and On-exam Anxiety. After revision from pretest, 459 third year high school students (246 males and 213 females) were used to test the reliability and validity of this developed scale. In order to precisely measure the anxiety level in exam preparation and on-exam stage, each participant answered the questionnaire on two time points: the Exam Preparation Anxiety Scale was administered one month before the College Entrance Exam; the On-exam Anxiety Scale was administered immediately after the exam.

The findings suggested that the Exam Preparation Anxiety Scale included two factors, pre-exam worry and pre-exam emotionality, which constituted two subscales and the On-exam Anxiety Scale included one factor, testing anxiety; the Exam Preparation and On-exam Anxiety Scale and its three subscales demonstrated good reliability estimates. In terms of validities of the scale, the Exam Preparation and On-exam Anxiety Scale was significantly related to high school students’ exam score, trait anxiety, and state anxiety.
