In the present study, the researchers attempted to study the level of Examination anxiety
among the chemistry students studying at senior secondary level and to explore the
examination anxiety in relation to their locality (rural/urban), gender (male/female),
and management of school (government / Private), board of examinations (CBSE/
RBSE). The survey has been done by using SEAT (Students Examination Anxiety Test)
constructed and standardized by Dr. Madhu Agarwal and Ms. Varsha Kaushal (2005).
The test contains 38 questions to determine examination anxiety. The sample of study
consists of 100 students from 6 different schools of Jaipur district of Rajasthan. The
data has been collected using online Google form responses. Results show that 55 %
senior secondary chemistry students were found to have moderate level of examination
anxiety, while 30 % were having high level and 15 % were having low level of examination
anxiety. Chemistry students were found to be differed significantly on examination
anxiety on the basis of gender, locality, and type of board but no significant difference
was observed on the basis of management type of school.
