Test anxiety disorder is a group of symptoms related to stress caused by tests, exams, evaluations, and others. It is among the severe psychological problems in exams. Long-term test anxiety is likely to cause tension, fear, irritability, depression, and other negative emotions, and it disturbs working memory, attention, and other cognitive abilities and even leads to suicidal ideation. In order to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of test anxiety disorder, under the organization of the Test Anxiety Disorder Collaboration of the Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine, this expert consensus was formulated by 13 experts in the field of psychiatry and psychology. We collaborate and announce the expert consensus based on current research and clinical experience. We hope the consensus can provide clinicians with scientific and comprehensive guidance on test anxiety disorder, including epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and treatment.
