Abstract
Anxiety is considered one of the principal factors that affect learners’ cognitive potentials to
achieve high levels of outcomes. Its symptoms start with the learners’ preparation, sitting for tests
and even after. Its various types can cause serious disorders at the level of the body, the mind and
the emotions. It is a psychological trait that curbs learning and baffles teachers in their continuous
evaluation even to smart students. In this work, the aim is to shed lights on this psychological
phenomenon that creates fear and fright and forces learners even to relinquish in their educational
pursuit of knowledge. To unveil the truth about the intricacies of this case, a close- up
investigation to this problem was used. A descriptive, analytical and triangulation mixed methods
were used in the collection of data through surveys. Two questionnaires were distributed to
students and teachers with the intent to collect data in terms of statistics, scales and open-ended
questions. The analysis to the questionnaires amply revealed the serious negative effects anxiety
can cause to learners’ achievement. Teachers can help solve this problem by briefing learners all
the year through and promote intelligible measurements to reduce anxiety to its minimum levels.
