Abstract: Questionnaire was used to examine 1152 middle school students about their metaworry and the relationship between their metaworry and test anxiety. The result showed that there are 5 metaworry styles in middle school students: social assessment, test process, family conflict, future destiny and parents status. 18 metaworries affect test anxiety notably and are related to all the 5 styles, among which family and test process are the main source. There are 8 common metaworries between boy students and girl students. However, test process may affect boy students more notably while social assessment may affect girl students more notably. There are 9 common metaworries which are also related to the 5 styles in students from junior high school and senior high school. Family conflict and test process are still the main source of them. However, junior high school students are inclined to put up the metaworry about the result while senior high school students are inclined to put up the metaworry about the future work

Key words: metaworry, test anxiety, high school students
