Abstract: Background: Feeling nervous about exams is a normal feeling among college students. However, extreme feelings of anxiety and stress before and during an exam can have unhealthy results. Some anxiety is natural and helps to keep us mentally and physically alert, but too much may cause physical distress, emotional upset, and concentration difficulties. Test anxiety is a feeling of agitation and distress associated with test taking, which impacts the student’s ability to study or perform on the test. Students who are likely to have test anxiety are high-achieving students and unprepared students. This study aimed to assess the perceived level of test anxiety among undergraduate Nursing students and to find out the strategies used by the students to overcome the test anxiety Methodology: Descriptive study with 214 undergraduate Nursing students aged between 18 to 23 years. The tool used to assess test anxiety was the west side test anxiety scale. Purposive sampling techniques were used. Analysis and Results: In total there were 214 students among them 20% were boys and 80% were girls. 59% of the respondents belonged to 18 to 20 years and 41% were under the age group between 21 to 23 years. All levels of test anxiety were present among respondents. Most of them 23% experienced moderately high test anxiety and 11% of them experienced extremely high test anxiety. At all the levels of test anxiety, female nursing students were on the higher side. Strategies used to overcome the test anxiety were time management 47.5%, using relaxation techniques 22.8%, doing yoga and meditation 20.9%, self-motivation and taking advice 5.5% and other methods used 3.3%. Conclusion: Present study revealed that 19% of them were comfortable and 18% of them showed normal/Average levels of test anxiety. The rest 63% of them was having text anxiety from High normal test anxiety to extremely high test anxiety. Most of the students expressed that time management is one of the strategies used to overcome test anxiety. Mentors need to support and guide the students to use the appropriate strategies to overcome test anxiety and better academic performance.
