Anxiety levels were studied before examinations by type of family in a sample of 230 freshmen of psychology at the private university César Vallejo, through a comparative transeccional descriptive design. For this purpose were administered the test Inventory Anxiety Self Assessment Tests (Idase), Bauermeister, Huergo, García y Otero, (1988) and a socio-demographic profile was applied to determine the type of family to which they belong. Finding that there is no statistically significant difference in the presence of levels of test anxiety by type of family, appearing in higher percentages middle and low anxiety. In smaller percentage high levels of anxiety are presented. We conclude therefore that levels of anxiety that students have the above do not differ by type of family.
