Abstract

Assessment anxiety is widely recognised but not well researched and assessment practice often does not consider the impact of undertaking the assessment upon the student. The objective of this projects was to listen to a group of neurodiverse students for the purpose of hearing of their experiences and views on assessment anxiety. The ‘voice’ of some neurodiverse student consultants was also compared with qualitative comments received from all students, neurotypical and neurodiverse, through the National Student Survey.
