Objective: to analyze the presence of state anxiety in relation to examinations among university students. Methodology: this was a cross-sectional and correlational study conducted with a nonprobabilistic sample of 42 students from the biological sciences area. Data were collected through the Google Forms platform, where the State Test Anxiety Inventory was administered after students had completed their semester examinations. The nonparametric chi-square statistic was used with a 95% confidence level to establish statistically significant relationships between state anxiety and other variables. Results: high levels of state anxiety were observed in 47.6% of participants, while 23.8% presented moderate levels. A statistically significant relationship was found between state anxiety and gender, academic performance, satisfaction with academic performance, and students' self-perception of anxiety. Conclusions: state anxiety was present in 71.4% of the participants, constituting a problem that affects both their academic performance and their satisfaction with the academic trajectory undertaken during their university preparation. In addition, participants expressed discouragement and demotivation, which may trigger negative self-perceptions and generate feelings of frustration that affect their life trajectories.

Objetivo: analizar la presencia de ansiedad-estado frente a los exámenes en estudiantes universitarios. Metodología: es un estudio de orden transversal y correlacional, con una muestra no probabilística de 42 estudiantes del área de ciencias biológicas. Para esto, se utilizó la plataforma Google Forms, donde se aplicó el Inventario de Ansiedad ante Exámenes-Estado, tras haber culminado sus evaluaciones semestrales. Se empleó el estadístico no paramétrico de Ji cuadrada con 95% de confiabilidad para establecer las relaciones estadísticamente significativas de la ansiedad-estado con otras variables. Resultados: la ansiedad-estado se muestra con un carácter alto en el 47,6% de los participante y moderadamente en el 23,8%. Se halla una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la ansiedad-estado con el género, con el rendimiento académico, la satisfacción en su desempeño académico, y finalmente si se percibe con ansiedad el alumno. Conclusiones: la ansiedad-estado se muestra en el 71,4% de los participantes en la investigación, por lo cual se constituye como una problemática que afecta tanto su rendimiento académico, como su satisfacción con la trayectoria académica que emprenden en su preparación universitaria. Además, manifiestan un desaliento y desmotivación que puede desencadenar ideas negativas sobre sus personas, generando así posicionamientos de frustración que afectan sus cursos de vida.
