Muhtasari	The Writing Apprehension Test measures the degree of anxiety and negative affect experienced in writing situations. Developed by Daly and Miller in 1975, the WAT identifies students with writing anxiety—a prevalent barrier to academic success, particularly in college coursework where writing is extensive. Writing apprehension leads to avoidance of writing tasks, procrastination, and reduced writing quality independent of actual writing ability. Early identification and targeted support can significantly improve both writing confidence and academic outcomes.	The Study Skills Assessment Questionnaire measures the habitual study practices, time management, concentration, and learning motivation of students. Originating from the foundational Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (Brown & Holtzman, 1964) and refined in contemporary versions, the SSAQ identifies whether students employ evidence-based study techniques (spaced practice, self-testing, active recall) or ineffective strategies (cramming, passive rereading). This information is invaluable for academic support professionals designing skill-building interventions tailored to student needs.
