Abstract
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques were used to explore the factor structure of the FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale. Results revealed the presence of a previously unidentified factor related to perceptions of test confidence and suggested a reduced-length version of the instrument may be conceptually preferable to the original.
