role in one‟s educational, professional, and emotional life Therefore, it is not surprising that the testing environment causes anxiety to a number of individuals This study carried out aimed at investigating main causes of anxiety and some possible solutions Data collected from the participants (class 12A and 12B at Huynh Thuc Khang high school with 84 students) by employing quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews) methods as research instruments including study skills, perceived threat of tests, and performance attributions The results are interpreted to propose that some causes believed to contribute to students‟ anxiety were also identified, among which the difficult content, the poor preparation and the difficulties in selecting the related materials seemed to be most highly considered by the students Moreover, The results revealed that giving a clear introduction for the difficult types of the exercises, providing well-designed samples of tests and doing exercises from different sources were offered to help students acknowledge, cope with and reduce anxiety as well as select an appropriate method of learning to take the actual English Examination with the lower anxiety iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com
