The data of the study were collected with the test anxiety scale adapted into Turkish by Öner 1990. SPSS 21.0 program was used for the findings and since the data exhibited normal distribution, Independent T-Test and One Way Anova were used in the analysis. Results: Significant differences were observed in the test anxiety of the secondary school students participating in the research depending on their gender, grade and sports activities. Conclusion: As a result, exam anxiety was found to be higher among male students than female students, among 8th grade students compared to others, and among those who did not do sports compared to those who did sports. In short, it can be said that doing sports has the effect of reducing students exam anxiety.
