false. as a person with a learning disability when tested in a normal testing environment anxiety caused my testing scores to be lower than when placed in a isolated and untimed environment. researchers need to stop blanketing results. we are all different learners, therefore we are all different when it comes to testing. testing is a bad way to measure everyone's knowledge of a subject. it needs to be changed.
The paper conclusion looks more like "exam anxiety has the same negative effect during mock exams as final exams" rather than "exam anxiety has no effect on exam results" (as per e.g. "Test anxiety did not predict exam performance beyond exam-preparation performance", page 5).
Am I reading it wrong, or does the paper title overgeneralize its findings?
