Abstract

This systematic review evaluates interventions aimed at reducing exam anxiety in adolescents, revealing that various methods, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, emotional self-regulation, expressive writing, attention training, multimodal cognitive-behavioural approaches, hypnosis, and working memory training, significantly lower anxiety levels. By thorough quality assessment and data extraction from ten included studies, this paper highlights the effective interventions, urging future research to refine these interventions and explore their long-term benefits. Educators and practitioners are recommended to adopt these evidence-based strategies to enhance students' academic performance and psychological health.
