SCAT

By analyzing an athlete's responses to a series of statements about how she/he feels in a competitive situation it is possible to determine their level of anxiety. A test that provides such functionality is the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) that was developed by Martens, Vealey, and Burton in 1990.

Assessing Your Anxiety

Read each statement below, decide if you "Rarely", "Sometimes" or "Often" feel this way when competing in your sport, select the appropriate radio button to indicate your response and then select the "Analyze" button to see your test result.

Do not spend too long on each statement, as there is no right or wrong answers. Your SCAT score will range from a low of 10 to a high of 30 where 10 indicates a low level of anxiety and 30 a high level of anxiety (stressed).

The test can be repeated by selecting the "Reset" button.
