Burns claims that a person can complete and score the entire inventory in under two minutes. To
evaluate the level of anxiety indicated on the checklist, each item is added up numerically. A score of
zero to four indicates minimal or no anxiety, five to 10 means borderline anxiety, a score between 11 to
20 signifies mild anxiety, 21 to 30 is moderate anxiety, 31 to 50 means severe anxiety, and a score of 51
to 99 indicates extreme anxiety or panic.
