Test Anxiety and the Brazilian College Entrance Examination

The nature of test anxiety and its relationship to performance is analyzed in the context of the Brazilian College Entrance Examination (Vestibular). Admission to Brazilian universities is based solely on performance on the Vestibular examination. The major questions investigated relate to two groups of hypotheses: (1) the relationship between test anxiety or its components on Vestibular performance and (2) the potential determinants of the level of test anxiety, among them past failure experience on the Vestibular, socioeconomic background, and sex.
