Abstract

Responses of 100 students to the Test Anxiety Scale were used to classify subjects by level of anxiety. Order of perceived difficulty of test formats from easiest to hardest was multiple-choice, true-false, problem-solving, completion, interpretive exercise, and essay. Preferences for formats were different for groups high and low in anxiety, but no differences in perceived difficulty were noted.
