Background:To provide a theoretical basis for formulating effective measures to relieve test anxiety,we understand the current situation of examination anxiety and coping styles of middle school students from different ethnic groups. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted on 251 junior middle school students in a middle school in Minhe County, Qinghai Province, usingthe middle school students’ test anxiety factors questionnaire (IFTAS) and the middle school students’ coping styles scale (CSS). Results: 1)Increasing the grades and ages, the score of different nationalities of middle school students’ test anxieties were higher(F = 4.795,P < 0.05;F = 2.468,P < 0.05); 2) The middle school students’ coping style of “pointing to the problem” had statistical significance among grades(F = 6.673,P < 0.05). 3)
