Different from previous research, the study eants to emphasize the importabce of test characteristics in controlling both trait and state test anxiety in EFL testing contexts. Research results suggest time pressure, item type, item difficulty sequencing and test taking information given would affect test taker's trait and state test anxiety in EFL tests.
