Abstract This study investigates the phenomenon of examination anxiety among girl students enrolled in CG, CBSE, and ICSE board schools in Raipur district, Chhattisgarh. Examination anxiety is a pervasive psychological issue that affects academic performance, emotional well-being, and learning capacity. The objective of this research is to comparatively analyze the levels of anxiety experienced by students from these three educational boards and determine whether the board pattern has a significant effect on anxiety levels.
A total of 300 higher secondary girl students, aged between 14 and 18 years, were randomly selected from 15 schools representing all three boards. The "Student Examination Anxiety Test" developed by Madhu Agrawal and Varsha Kaushal was used as the research instrument. Statistical tools including descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were applied to examine the data.
Findings reveal that there is no significant difference in examination anxiety levels between students of CG and CBSE boards, and between CG and ICSE boards, indicating impartiality in these board patterns with regard to academic stress. However, a significant difference was observed between students of CBSE and ICSE boards, suggesting that the structure or pedagogy of these boards may influence examination anxiety.
The study recommends strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, and enhanced family and school support systems to mitigate examination anxiety. The findings contribute to the understanding of board-specific educational stressors and provide guidance for educators, parents, and policymakers in creating supportive academic environments.
