Examination anxiety is a self-demanding factor that negatively affects students and their performances. The student is unable to give maximum productivity and the result would be critical. Many types of research have already been conducted in the area of students’ anxiety about examinations. Keeping in view the situation and the previous studies conducted in the field of examination anxiety, provided the researcher with a sound ground to conduct a research study in the Indian scenario. The present study, “A study on Examination Anxiety among Secondary School Students” was carried out by the researcher to determine the level of examination anxiety among secondary school students in Hyderabad city. In a comparative study, a sample of 120 students was selected using a random sampling technique and tested with the Examination Anxiety Scale (EAS). Data were analyzed using an Independent t-test to test the hypotheses. Results indicated that there is no significant difference between boys and girls in secondary school in their examination anxiety and there is not much variation in the level of exam anxiety. Furthermore, the results revealed that the level of examination anxiety in boys and girls students was the same. The conclusion is that both boys and girls show examination anxiety but are not significant enough though.
