Abstract
This study is designed to examine how test-timing affects the anxiety levels of a college student. This study is expected to test the hypothesis that anxiety levels of students will be higher after taking their exam while waiting for their scores, as compared with anxiety levels before taking the exam and during the exam. Materials used in this study consists of three vignettes with three different time frames for the hypothetical exam, as well as a short survey on anxiety levels that is to be completed after reading the assigned vignette. The survey will be used to record anxiety levels, age and gender of participants. Each participant will be randomly assigned a vignette out of the three and will be given at least 10 minutes to completely read and answer the survey questions. Data will be collected from human participants.
