- We studied whether brief mindfulness sessions reduce test anxiety in undergraduates. 120 students were randomly assigned to a 10-minute guided breathing condition or a control condition before a timed exam. We measured state anxiety with the STAI and exam performance. The mindfulness group showed significantly lower anxiety (d=0.52) and modestly higher scores. Results suggest low-cost interventions can support student wellbeing.

Background: Test anxiety undermines academic performance, yet scalable interventions remain underexplored. Objective: To evaluate whether a brief pre-exam mindfulness exercise reduces state anxiety. Methods: In a randomized controlled design, 120 undergraduates completed either a 10-minute guided breathing session or a control task before a timed exam; anxiety was measured via the STAI. Results: The mindfulness group reported significantly lower state anxiety (d=0.52) and modestly improved scores. Conclusion: Brief mindfulness offers a low-cost route to student wellbeing.
