In the statistical analysis; It was found that the state anxiety of the students were higher than the trait anxiety and the female students' state and trait anxiety was higher than male students' anxiety.

Based on these facts, it is considered that exam changes should be made before the at least two academic years and no questions will be required for anxiety level of our students.
