Abstract: An individual’s test anxiety might be high, normal, or low, according to Casbarro (2005). The instrument’s scores range from 30 to 120, with a lower score suggesting minimal test anxiety and a higher score indicating high test anxiety. Individuals with scores ranging from 30 to 59 inclusive have mild test anxiety, those with scores ranging from 60 to 89 have normal test anxiety, and those with scores ranging from 90 to 120 have significant test anxiety. The study was conducted in sekondi-takoradi using all the 10 senior high schools, a multi-stage sampling technique was used in deriving the sample size of 370 respondents. It is preferable to have little test anxiety. According to Akanbi (2013), a modest degree of worry might be beneficial since it functions as motivation and can boost success by pushing pupils to perform their best. In circumstances of severe test anxiety, the client should consult with a competent counsellor. This is because excessive anxiety might impair mental abilities required for exam achievement (Casbarro, 2005).
