Description:
A psychologist was interested in the effects of exam stress on exam performance. She devised and validated a questionnaire to assess state anxiety relating to exams (called the Exam Anxiety Questionnaire, or EAQ). Using this scale, anxiety was measured before an exam (Anxiety) and set in relation with exam performance (Exam), and time used for revising the exam (Revise). If revision time is related to both exam anxiety and exam performance, then to get a measure of the unique relationship between exam anxiety and exam performance we need to account for revision time.

Variables:

• Code: Participant ID
• Revise: Time spent for revision (in min)
• Exam: Exam performance as percentage mark of each student (0 - 100; higher marks indicate better performance)
• Anxiety: Level of anxiety, measured with the Exam Anxiety Questionnaire (0 - 100; higher scores indicate more anxiety)
• Sex: Biological sex of the student
