Breakfast as the most significant meal of the day is needed for the students to take before going to school. However, some students are skipping their breakfast and their body responses to this eating behavior remain unclear. This study examined students’ anxiety levels in school as a response after taking and not taking breakfast before going to school. Students are examined and there are students who eat breakfast and students who do not eat breakfast before going to school. Then, each student is given a test that measures their school anxiety level in the morning. Using weighted mean, students who eat breakfast got an overall weighted mean of which is interpreted as a disagreement of being anxious in school. On the other hand, Students who did not eat their breakfast got an overall weighted mean of which is also interpreted to disagree with being anxious. Also, it was found out that both students who eat breakfast and who don’t eat breakfast got midlevel of anxiety. Then, the ANOVA analysis resulted in a significance which is higher than the alpha. Therefore, there is no significant association between the anxiety level of the students who take breakfast and who do not take breakfast. In addition, students both taking breakfast or not taking breakfast do have a normal level of anxiety and breakfast can’t give any effects to their anxiety level at all.

The present study aims at comparing test anxiety among secondary school students and university students to reveal if the interventions for reducing test anxiety should be focused more on secondary school students who do not have enough skills for emotional management. The Bulgarian version of the Westside Test Anxiety Scale was used among 60 junior high school/middle school students, 30 high school students and 90 university students. It was found that test anxiety diminished with age advance. Higher test anxiety was manifested during the school/academic year than at the beginning of the school year. The interventions for reducing test anxiety should be focused mainly on overcoming negative thoughts, and negative self-talk during exams, and worry about own performance after the exam. Keywords: test anxiety, secondary school students, university students

“…In terms of the influence of cognitive test anxiety on the academic performance of students of different levels or grades, Markman, Rhoades, Stanly, Whitton and Ragan (2010) argued that test anxiety peaks at higher educational levels during both study time and testing. A number of studies reported that student's academic level impacted on their test anxiety level (Ferdous, 2012;Guress, 2010;Sansgiry, Kavita& Sail, 2006;Waterworth, 2003;Yousefi, 2009). Notwithstanding, Fulya (2008) found an insignificant relationship.…”

Psychologicalfactors such astest and examination anxiety and stress are important indicators of students’ learning outcomes and academic performance. This surveylooked at cognitive test anxiety and examination scores of college of education students by gender and grade level differences. A total of 236 teacher trainees were selected via stratified and random sampling techniques for the survey. The cognitive test anxiety scale [CTAS] (α=0.91) by Cassady and Johnson (2002) was used to conduct the survey.Frequency count, percentage and independent samples t-test were computedwith the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The study revealed high levels of examination anxiety among female students (p=0.004), but the cognitive test anxiety between level 100 and level 200 studentswas statistically insignificant (p ≥ .05). It is recommended that teachers, parents and educational administrators should support and boost the self-esteem of college of education students through cognitive, affective, motivational and behavioural strategies.
