This study investigated the existence of an interaction between music and anxiety, with the hypothesis that highly test anxious subjects would perform better in a test-like situation when background music was present than when the more usual condition of silence prevailed. 162 final year Diploma of Education and third year B.Ed, students completed Sarason's Test Anxiety Scale. Three experimental conditions were used in which students were required to study a 1,500-word passage for 10 minutes. The conditions were silence, music as the students entered and music throughout. The second group showed the highest scores on a test of the material learned
