A report is given of a behavioral group training of secondary school pupils to reduce test anxiety. After a brief description of trends in the treatment of test anxiety, the selection of the pupils, the methods of evaluation, and the treatment program are described. Training takes eight sessions plus homework assignments. Administration of (test) anxiety inventories was repeated. After treatment scores on test anxiety decreased significantly. Comparison of the test scores in the waiting-list control group with those of the trained group after training shows improvement at retest. At follow-up after 12 wk. decrease in anxiety in the trained group is even greater.
