Abstract
Abstract
The primary focus of this study was meant to analyze the difference between stressful versus non-stressful testing environments and how well students were able to correctly answer questions under both conditions. This paper will provide background information on various factors that could affect test performance such as stress, anxiety, and high standards. This study also analyzed preferred study methods among a specified group of seventh grade students in hopes of gaining insight on how to accommodate in-class study methods that will promote student participation, confidence, and overall test performance. This study and the research methods associated with it produced results that were not initially predicted, leaving little room for interpretation but multiple indications of future research ideas. This paper will discuss the limitations, flaws in methodology, as well as future research ideas that arose from the data collection.
