The purpose of the present study is to identify the effectiveness of cognitive therapy-based mindfulness training on rumination and exam anxiety in the first high-school female students in Tehran. Due to the semi-experimental method of the present study, the statistical population of all high school students in Tehran was a sample of 30 people randomly in two groups of control (15 persons) and the experimental group (15 persons). The sample size was selected from the targeted sampling method and the samples were included in the two groups of control and experimental group based on the score of the Rumination Questionnaire Nollen Hoeksema and Moro (1991) and exam anxiety Questionnaire Abolghasemi et al (1375) and the experimental group was trained during eight ninety-minute sessions of mindfulness intervention based on cognitive therapy. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results showed that cognitive therapy-based mindfulness training is effective in dealing with rumination and exam anxiety in the first high school students in Tehran and the significant level of rumination and less exam anxiety. It is 0/05, so this shows that there is a significant difference between the two groups of control and experimental in the amount of rumination and test anxiety. Cognitive therapy-based mindfulness training with an effect size of 0/675 reduced rumination and reduced exam anxiety by an effect size of 0/572. Therefore it can be used as an effective intervention.
