The sample of the study consisted of totally 73 teacher candidates who attended to 1st and 4th grades of Music Education Department in Education Faculty of Adnan Menderes University during the fall semester of 2016-2017 academic year. In the study, three kinds of data collecting instruments were used: General Procrastination Scale which was developed by Lay (1986) and The Turkish reliability and reality studies were done by Balkis (2003), Academic Procrastination Scale which was developed by Çakici (2003) and Westside Examination Anxiety Scale which was developed by Driscoll (2009) and Turkish validity and reliability studies were conducted by Totan & Yavuz (2009). Results showed that men had more academic procrastination and lower text anxiety scores than women. Seniors were more likely to display both general and academic procrastination behaviours than freshmen. Significant and moderate positive correlations were found between academic procrastination and general procrastination tendencies (r=0.50, p<0.05); and also between academic procrastination and test anxiety (r=0.56; p<0.05).General procrastination tendency and test anxiety together predicted nearly half (45%) of academic procrastination tendency.
