The sample population, including ٦٠ students, was randomly divided to ٢ experimental and control groups. The research instruments were the Sarason’s Test Anxiety Scale (TAS) the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. A pre-test was given to both groups at the beginning of the semester. Then, the control group was exposed to the independent variable (electronic portfolio). At the end of the semester, a post-test was applied to both groups. The collected data was analyzed using the independence t-test. The results showed that using e-portfolio is effective on reducing the students’ test anxiety (p<٠.٠٠١) and improving their self-esteem (p<٠.٠٥).
