Exam anxiety can impact on a student’s ability to cope in both negative and positive ways. It is normal for students
facing examinations to experience anxiety known as exam anxiety. It is also true that over anxiousness disregulates
their homeostasis at physical, emotional, and cognitive levels which can result in poor examination performance.
The current study has analyzed past reviews regarding test anxiety and its impact on students’’ performance in
their examinations. The purpose of the study is to develop an awareness of the benefits which self-hypnosis can
bring in promoting a healthy anxiety response, which would benefit students in coping with their exams. A
literature review was completed using electronic databases for this study. The current study reviewed 30 articles
from the year 1961 to 2018. The articles reviewed focused on test anxiety, positive and negative effects of anxiety
on students, self-hypnosis and anxiety management. The study concludes that although test anxiety is common
amongst students it has a positive effect on students in their preparatory stage. On the other hand, abnormal or over
anxiousness negatively impacts on the students’ functional level, thereby affecting performance and achievement.
The current study suggests that training students in self-hypnosis and the practicing of self-hypnosis would
promote the overall health and wellbeing in student populations. |
