Pintridge and DeGrutte self-regulatory learning strategies questionnaire (1990), Friedman and Jacob test anxiety questionnaire (1997) and Middleton and Midgley progress goals questionnaire (1997) were used to collect data and the online links of these questionnaires were provided for the participants. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as Pearson correlation and structural equation were used to analyze the data.
Results:  Findings showed that achievement goals had an effect on self-regulated learning strategies and test anxiety (p <0.05).
