Popis: It is thought that children are devoid of basic needs of being social, belonging to a group, etc., due to the restrictions in the Covid-19 pandemic process and this may cause some mental problems in students preparing for the exam. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of exercises to be applied during the pandemic process, which has become an international problem, on the attention deficit and exam anxiety levels of 8th-grade students who are preparing for the High School Entrance Exam (LGS) through the distance education model and other digital materials. The research was designed as pretest-posttest with the control group in an experimental design. The experimental group was applied 40 minutes of exercise 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The exercises were transferred to the experimental group via online applications. In the study, "Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Assessment Scale for Children (10-14 Age Group)" was used as a data collection tool to determine students' attention deficits and "Exam Anxiety Inventory" was used to determine test anxiety. The scales were completed by the students through the links created by "Google Forms". Finally, it was seen that the exercise activities applied revealed a significant factor in reducing the attention deficit and exam anxiety of the 8th-grade students who are preparing for the LGS exam through distance education in digital environments during the Covid-19 process.
