摘要：Researches show that exam anxiety is one of the negative factors having an effect on EFL. Experiments of EFL students and teachers also justifies these researches. With this study, the aim is to define the exam anxiety levels of Turkish EFL students and find out the reasons and results of this problem. It is also aimed to help our education system with the study on Turkish EFL students’ exam anxiety. In the study, exam anxiety scale has been applied to the students in the Foreign Language School of a private university, and the collected data has been analyzed. The study concluded with two main results, the first one of which is that EFL Turkish students have higher exam anxiety levels.
