What this are you prone to exam stress measures
This are you prone to exam stress screener estimates how often academic pressure patterns showed up recently. Twenty-two original frequency items group into pre-test panic, study avoidance, perfection loops, and recovery habits following test-anxiety research themes adapted for self-report. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your exam stress index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more frequent endorsed stress on this screener, not a clinical test-anxiety diagnosis.

Racing heart, catastrophizing, and blank-mind fear.
Study avoidance
Procrastination, cram spirals, and avoidance loops.

All-or-nothing standards and score obsession.
