Test anxiety is an inevitable state; however, its strength can lead to undesirable results. This research investigates academic anxiety with a special focus on test anxiety. It tries to answer the following questions: “What skills do master I students lack in order to effectively manage test anxiety? And what are the main reasons behind test anxiety? It has been hypothesized that master I students- department of English –Badji Mokhtar University-Annaba- lack study skills to cope effectively with test anxiety. Besides, they experience test anxiety because of the excessive concern about the consequences of failure. A questionnaire was administered and the results confirmed the hypotheses.
