Researchers have been focusing on how to improve students academic performance and trying to solve the relevant factors,which have some bad influence on students’academic achievements. As we all known that the level of anxiety experienced in the tests and students self-efficacy may affect students’academic achievements.This paper explored the relationship between anxiety, self-efficacy and academic achievements by delivering some questionnaires.1. Examination anxiety is a common phenomenon among junior students in middle schools. Its gender differences weren’t significant, however, the difference between key schools and non-key schools were significant.2. Junior students all have the tendency of self-affirmation and self-confidence. No differences were found between all relationships.3. Pearson correlations were found between self-efficacy, examination anxiety and academic achievements. A negative correlation was found between self-efficacy, also replicated between academic achievements and examination anxiety. A positive correlation was found between self-efficacy and academic achievements.4. Self-efficacy and examination anxiety are two predictors of academic achievements. The former had an positive effect while the latter had an negative effect.5. Self-efficacy was a valid predictor of examination anxiety, whose effect was negative.
