The purpose of this research was to predict learned helplessness based on academic resilience and test anxiety among students with academic failure. The present research method was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this research included all the students with academic failure in the second year high schools in Bandar Abbas (Iran). The sample was selected by a multi-stage cluster method. In order to collect data, Learned Helplessness Scale (Quinless & McDermott-Nelson, 1988), Samuels's Academic Resilience Scale and the FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale (Friedman & Bendas-Jacob, 1997) were used. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis in the SPSS-26 software. The results indicated that academic resilience (β=-.47) and test anxiety (β=.21) predict learned helplessness significantly (P<.05). Also, R2 showed that 32% of the changes in the criterion variable are explained by the predictor variables. In a general conclusion, it can be said that in order to decrease the level of learned helplessness of students with academic failure, its recommended to increase resiliency and control the test anxiety in them.
