Question

Test anxiety is actually a type of performance anxiety

Answer 1

Yes, test anxiety is a type of performance anxiety. When you have test anxiety, you have anxiety about doing well on the test, and you even think you may fail. Furthermore, you think that people will think you are stupid if you don't do well. All these thoughts are anxiety-provoking, and the anxiety may be so great that you are not able to complete the test, or are not able to answer the questions adequately or correctly.
