Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While anxiety can certainly make things like focusing and paying attention more difficult, anxiety is not a cause of learning difficulties, but rather one of many symptoms. Children with learning differences are significantly more likely to have challenges with anxiety than children without a learning difference.

Detailed explanation-2: -Left untreated, anxiety disorders can make it hard for students to get schoolwork done or study. It may affect their relationships with peers and teachers, too. In some cases, students with anxiety disorders miss a lot of school days. Or they may avoid school altogether.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a meta-analysis that included papers from 1988 to 2018, high anxiety students scored lower on standardized exams with a mean effect size of r = −0.26. Students may suffer from underachievement, not because of lack of ability but because of their anxiety.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anxiety is one of the major predictors of academic performance. Students with anxiety disorder display a passive attitude in their studies such as lack of interest in learning, poor performance in exams, and on assignments.
