Abstract: To explore the effect of coping style and resilience on test anxiety of higher vocational college students and analyze the mediating role of copying style between them, this paper used the Chinese version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ )and test anxiety scale (TAS) to test the selected 596 higher vocational college students. Results showed that the detection rate of test anxiety was 49.329%. There was not a significant difference among grade, but significantly different in gender. There was significant positive correlation between passive coping and test anxiety, there was significant negative correlation between test anxiety and active coping, resilience; coping style was a part of the mediating role between resilience and test anxiety. Conclusion is that the resilience not only affects test anxiety of higher vocational college students directly, but also affects the test anxiety indirectly through coping style, and the test anxiety level of higher vocational college students can be reduced by developing positive coping style and improving resilience.
