Bados1 aP. Sanz00aValidation of the revised Test Anxiety Scale and the Friedben Test Anxiety Scale in a Spanish sample  a163-1740 v113 aThe psychometric properties of two recent questionnaires designed to measure test anxiety-the Revised Test Anxiety Scale (RTA) (Benson & El-Zahhar, 1994) and the FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale (FTA) (Friedman & Bendas-Jacob, 1997)-were tested in a sample of Spanish university students. In general, the factor structure of both questionnaires was replicated, although there were problems with some items. Data regarding the convergent, divergent and predictive validity of both questionnaires and their sub-scales were satisfactory, except for the sub-scales Test-Irrelevant Thinking on the RTA and Fear of Social Disapproval on the FTA. The internal reliability of the Worry and Bodily Symptoms subscales of the RTA was low. It is concluded that in their current form neither questionnaire seems suitable for using with university students.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
