title: Age and test anxiety among African university students.
abstract: As studies in Western countries have shown, scores on test anxiety increase with age during elementary school. Whether such a difference would be observed among African university students who ranged in age from 18 to 35 years was examined. The difference in mean scores on the Achievement Anxiety Test for two groups, ages 18 to 25 years (n = 132) and 26 to 35 years (n = 267), was not statistically significant.
