Hi everyone
I found this in the internet and thought perhaps you do this self-test to see where you are in your anxiety level over math.
Rate your answers from 1 to 5; add them up and check your score below.
(1) = Disagree, (5) = Agree.
1. I cringe (become fearful) when I have to go to math class. 1 2 3 4 5
2. I am uneasy about going to the board in a math class. 1 2 3 4 5
3. I am afraid to ask questions in math class. 1 2 3 4 5
4. I am always worried about being called on in math class. 1 2 3 4 5
5. I understand math now, but I worry that it's going to get really difficult soon.1 2 3 4 5
6. I tend to "black out" (or get lost) in math class. 1 2 3 4 5
7. I fear math tests more than any other kind. 1 2 3 4 5
8. I don't know how to study for math tests. 1 2 3 4 5
9. It's clear to me in math class, but when I go home it's like I was never there. 1 2 3 4 5
10. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the rest of the class. 1 2 3 4 5
CHECK YOUR SCORE:
40-50 Sure thing, you have math anxiety.
30-39 No doubt! You're still fearful about math.
20-29 On the fence!.
10-19 Wow! Loose as a goose!

Irine - I am seeing you improving in your skills and I think your questions in class do help me understand as your teacher how you are doing in the subject. Never worry about asking questions - it really helps me to make my teaching clearer, not just to you but also to the rest.
Anisah - finally you posted, thanks. Re your stress level toward math, yes, continue to persevere. I have seen most of you picking up on the subject esply Add Math since last year when you started learning the subject. And I am confident that you can overcome your nervousness in time and with more practice.
my score is 23. i didn't expect my score to be in the 20-29 range because i always fail my tests. haha
my score is 25. haha. i had been failing my tests so i thought that its a sure thing that i have math anxiety.
My score is 23. I think my score is really around my level of math anxiety. But i'm still quite fearful of failing my tests :/
Woo.. dun faint hor mrs goh..my score.. hmm 35!! haha.. erms.. not surprise about my score ^^ Since i always fail amaths ?
Fishball - yes, your score is a bit high. Go into the website where I got the test from and read how to reduce your math anxiety. Anyway to me, you should do ok finally as long as you keep on persevering in the subject!!

Grrr my brain stop working when people is staring at me.. :(
OOOOORH! Ownage score man. Mine is a WHOPPING 40. My score kicks butt man. xD
Simoun:
I thought you'd score more than 45 marks man, you disappointed me.
Mine is like 22? I think my score is a little worrying that I'm not too worried about maths. The only thing I'm scared about maths tests are making too many stupid careless mistakes and not enough time to finish the paper. Sometimes it's also because I really don't know how to do or that I'm too nervous that I forget how to do it in the test but after we hand in our papers, the next minute I'll know how to do it. Very irritating!!
To Chun Lik:
your comment on Simoun was a little mean but nevertheless, HAHAHAHA!
mine is 13. Turns out to be very surprising for me. But actually maths are fun just that i hate maths tests cos i tend to do careless mistakes which is so stupid that let me lose lots of marks.
To everyone who posted, it seems to me that you associate your performance in math to your anxiety level in math. Yes, the anxiety can be caused by how you have been performing in tests/exams. But it can also be overcome gradually - it needs you to be more positive about yourself in the subject. Try to go into the website indicated in this post, and read about how you can reduce your anxiety level. As your teacher, I will do my part to help you guys and gals....so, don't worry so much.....
my score is 25.
well, i dont really am afraid to go for maths class. instead, i love maths class. however, i always do careless mistakes and i tend to get confuse when applying what ive learnt into problem sums (:
score = 39
VERY scared of failing any a maths test, and the first one on log did not help one bit.
i got 17...i am not worried about my emaths as i always get the same kind of marks...my amaths marks are always in the different range...so i am quite worried about it.
my score is 25.i am on the fence =) hope i dun fall off.
mine is 22. I didnt expect to have this score. Well i tink that i only tend to go lost when i lost my concentration in class or my eyes are getting heavy. But the loud voice of mrs goh tend to scare me not allowing me to fall aslp. Anyway i will work hard. Hop plane geometry do not take up too much of the marks in the o lvls.
My score was 22. Although i failed till 1 mark, but i am confidence for a better result. =)
I scored 23points.
Yay! On the fence which means at least i am able to handle the double maths i am taking, which is a good sign (?).
Without doubt, without ask.
I do have maths anxiety.
