This paper emphasises emotional reactions of the students in the area of the evaluation process. The goal of the empiric part of this paper is to identify representation of the students’ emotional reactions during the evaluation process in certain subjects and the representation of the students’ emotional reactions according to the specific characteristics of the examinees.
