Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
This study determined the level of anxiety as to its physiological and psychological manifestations as encountered by BS criminology board examinees. Eighty-four (84) BS Criminology board examinees took part in this study. The Test Anxiety Questionnaire (Nist and Diehl, 1990) was utilized to ascertain the level of test anxiety in terms of its physiological manifestations and to determine the psychological manifestations of test anxiety, the Westside Test Anxiety Scale (Driscoll, (2004) was used. Descriptive method of research was utilized employing mean scores to describe the board examinees’ level of test anxiety. Results revealed that majority of the participants had “little anxiety” as to the physiological manifestations of test anxiety and a “moderately high-test anxiety level” as to its psychological manifestations. A psychological intervention program was proposed geared towards the alleviation of anxiety before and during test taking.
