Abstract

Anxiety amongst university students is a common problem. The academic pressure, expectations from parents, and lack of belief in self often leaves to academic anxiety. Its effect on academic performance and overall life has also been proven by various researchers over time. This study developed a reliable tool to measure academic anxiety in university students. An item pool of 78 items was created and 30 items were finalized through panel assessment and pilot study. Data was collected through both offline and online forms and analyzed using SPSS20.0 software. The tool can provide valuable insights into the experiences of students, identify individuals at risk of academic anxiety, and inform potential interventions. Standardizing the tool can enable comparisons across different educational settings and populations, contributing to a better understanding of the relationship between academic anxiety and student wellbeing.
