This is consistent with Hounsell et al. whosuggest that students’ anxiety is likely not inherent to the oral format itself, but may be a result ofthe novelty of this form of assessment [18]. Thus, student anxiety may be significantly mitigatedby interventions designed to familiarize them with the oral exam format, such as practiceopportunities or “dry-runs” [16]. Alternatively, Joughin suggests that some students may feelanxiety before an oral exam because they are aware that they have not deeply mastered thecourse material, and argues that in this case anxiety is productive in that it encourages students tomodify their learning strategies to achieve deeper
