• Analyzed the relationship between test anxiety and subjective well-being in students over time.
• Evaluated the predictive directionality of effects between test anxiety and SWB.
• Test anxiety significantly predicts lower future levels of subjective well-being.
• The reciprocal effect from subjective well-being to test anxiety is not supported.
