Abstract	In this study, we examined whether generalised mathematics anxiety, application of mathematics in science anxiety, and positive attitudes towards mathematics influenced adolescents' intentions to study biology, chemistry, and physics in Grades 11 and 12. Participants were 477 students in Grades 8-10 from two schools in Western Sydney. Girls reported higher levels of generalised mathematics anxiety and application of mathematics in science anxiety. Positive attitudes towards mathematics were a significant and positive predictor of students' intentions to study all science subjects, while application of mathematics in science anxiety was a negative predictor of students' intentions to study chemistry and physics.
