Sintesi	The Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) is a self-report questionnaire assessing anxiety and worry related to mathematics learning and performance. Originally developed by Plake and Parker in 1982 with 98 items and refined to a 30-item version (MARS-30) in 1995, the MARS measures multiple facets of math anxiety: anxiety in test/evaluation contexts, mathematics learning contexts, and everyday numerical situations. It is widely used in educational psychology, mathematics education research, and clinical assessment to identify students with math anxiety and to evaluate interventions.	The Westside Test Anxiety Scale (WTAS) is a 10-item self-report questionnaire measuring the intensity of anxiety and worry experienced before, during, and after academic tests. Developed by Ralph Driscoll and validated in 2007, the WTAS assesses the cognitive (worry, negative self-talk) and somatic (tension, trembling, nausea) dimensions of test anxiety. It is widely used in educational psychology, academic counseling, and cognitive-behavioral research to identify students at risk for test anxiety and to monitor intervention effectiveness.
