A total of 89 3rd year Educational and Behavioral science students were selected using convenience sampling method. To collect data four questionnaires (EI, LC, SE and TA) and document analysis for AA were employed. One sample t-test, Pearson correlation, independent t-test and multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. The result of one sample t-test shows that students have better level of EI. The level of students LC is slightly internal as a group. Students had significantly high level of self-esteem and students have low test anxiety level. The study revealed that positive and significant relationship between EI and AA, EI and SE, EI and ILC, in contrast EI and ELC, EI and TA shows negative relationship. All EI dimensions show a positive significant relationship with AA. The independent sample t-test revealed that there was significance difference between male and female students in EI. Meaning males have higher score than females. There was statistically significant mean difference between male and female students. Female students have high level test anxiety than male students. Females are more external in locus of control than males. There is no mean difference between male students in AA and SE. regression analysis shows that LC, SE and TA predict academic achievement. On the other hand, the effects of emotional intelligence on academic achievement were found not statistically significant. Furthermore, the effect of LC and TA on AA found to be negative.

The aim of this study is to discover how test anxiety and self-esteem affect academic performance. Three hundred and twenty randomly selected students of class 12 of the government inter colleges in Darbhanga town were involved in the study. They were asked to complete the Test Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger et al., 1980) and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (Coopersmith, 1987) in a classroom environment during regular school hours. Their aggregate marks of 11th class were also collected. The data were then analyzed using descriptive, correlational and inferential statistics. The study discovered that overall (i) low test anxiety students (boys, girls, rural and urban) had higher academic performance than high test anxiety students (boys, girls, rural and urban); (ii) there is a positive relationship between self-esteem and academic performance of the students (boys, girls, rural and urban); (iii) there is a negative relationship between test anxiety and self-esteem of students (boys, girls, rural and urban); (iv) boys have least test anxiety, better self-esteem and better academic performance than girls; and (v) urban students have least test anxiety, better self-esteem and excellent academic performance in comparison to their rural counterparts.

Examination stress and test anxiety are pervasive problems in modern society. As the information age continues to evolve, test scores will become even more important than they are today in evaluating applicants for demanding jobs and candidates for admission into highly competitive educational programs. Because test anxiety gen- ally causes decrements in performance and undermines academic achievement, the development of effective therapeutic interventions for reducing its adverse effects will continue to be an important priority for counselors, psychologists, and educators. Alleviating test anxiety will also serve to counteract the diminished access to edu- tional and occupational opportunities that is frequently experienced by test-anxious individuals. As its title promises, this volume provides a state-of-the-art evaluation of the nature, antecedents, correlates, and consequences of examination stress and test anxiety. Professor Zeidner’s cogent and comprehensive analysis of the affective, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral manifestations of test anxiety are grounded in the extensive knowledge he has gained from his own research on the assessment and treatment of test anxiety. This work has also benefitted from the author’s lo- standing and productive collaboration with leading contributors to test anxiety theory and research, and his active participation in national and international conferences devoted to understanding test anxiety, including those convened by the Society for Test Anxiety Research (STAR).
