This research examined the relationship among State-Trait Anxiety, Foreign Language Anxiety and Test Anxiety in a Turkish EFL setting. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) were administered to preparatory English class students (n=435) in a state university in Turkey. Results revealed high and significant correlations among STAI, FLCAS and TAI responses of students. Comments and implications for future research were discussed.
