“…The findings from this present research showed that about 54% of Form Four students have moderate to high test anxiety, and 19.7% have high test anxiety. Similarly, in another recent study, 2158 school children in India completed the test anxiety inventory (TAI), and the findings showed that about 66% of the children (age: 9 to 18 years old) have moderate to high test anxiety and about 18% have high test anxiety (Lohiya et al, 2021). In fact, Howard (2020) found that the estimated value for high test anxiety among children and adolescents (aged 7 to 21) was in the range of 12%-18%.…”

“…According to studies, female students are more worried about exams and experience a higher level of stress, as well as the social component of test anxiety, which involves worrying about how others will perceive them (Howard, 2020). Also, in accordance with cultural and social expectations, male students prefer to underreport their test anxiety because doing so can be seen as a challenge to their manhood, whereas women are more likely to express their test nervousness (Lohiya et al, 2021;Núñez-Peña et al, 2016). Moreover, female students are more afraid of failing in a test situation.…”

Students who suffer from test anxiety go through a stressful and unpleasant experience that could harm their physical and mental health long term. This study examines the prevalence of test anxiety in Malaysia and investigates the association of test anxiety with socio-demographic factors. A cross-sectional survey comprising demographic data and the FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale (FTAS) questionnaires were used. Of the 371 students who responded, 46% of the students reported a low level of test anxiety, almost 20% a high level of test anxiety, and 34% a medium level of test anxiety. Further analyses suggest that test anxiety is significantly predicted by factors such as gender and ethnicity. These findings can help the education system including the Ministry of Education, schools, teachers, and parents to better understand the scope of the problem and the groups of students who are most affected. Potential policy implications as well as possible interventions to help students are discussed.

“…DSM-5 and DSM-5 Text Revision (DSM-5 TR) were used in five studies [13][14][15][16][17]. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21), Westside Test Anxiety Scale, and Test Anxiety inventory were the other tools used in the studies [18][19][20][21] (Table 1). In one study, one pretested questionnaire was used for diagnosing anxiety disorder [22].…”

Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders in the adolescent age group due to both physiological and psychological changes along with substance use in this age group. Generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social phobia (or social anxiety disorder) constitute anxiety disorders as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria. In India, the National Mental Health Survey was conducted to estimate the burden of different mental health disorders, but the adolescent age group was not included in that survey.A comprehensive search strategy was used to find out articles from PubMed and ProQuest, along with a risk of bias assessment using two components of the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool.The 13 articles included in the meta-analysis were divided into two groups depending on sampling strategy and outcome measurement. Due to more than 99% heterogeneity, the random effect model is used to find the pooled estimate. The pooled prevalence of anxiety disorder among adolescents in India is found to be 0.41 (CI: 0.14-0.96) for studies with more than low risk and 0.29 (CI: 0.11-0.46) for studies with low risk. The Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation test revealed no publication bias in the included studies. One study was found to be an outlier using the Baujat test, but pooled estimate and heterogeneity did not change significantly after its removal from analysis. The weight of individual studies calculated using the random effect model did not show any gross difference.A significant burden of anxiety was found in adolescents in India. Effective intervention should be planned to reduce this burden.
