The effectiveness of using offline electronic tests on test anxiety and test performance of elementary sixth -grade boy students

The present study aimed at the effectiveness of using offline electronic tests on the test anxiety and test performance of elementary sixth- grade boy students. This study is based on the objectives and hypotheses of the type of between-group experimental design with pre-test and post-test with the control group considering the data collection procedure, The study was quasi-experimental.
