<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This study attempts to assess the achievement of high and low stressed senior secondary science students. A sample&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;of 631 students was randomly selected from different institutions of Meerut province. They were administered&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Psychological Stress Scale for Science Students (PSSSS) developed by the researcher himself. Mean, S.D., and t&amp;ndash;test, were&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;used to analyze the data. Results show that the stress dimension examination and achievement has been emerged as the major factor causing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;stress, while health as the least causing factor for stress. The means of achievement of low stressed students for total psychological stress and its&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;all dimensions were higher than that of high stressed students. It leads to the conclusion that high stress affects negatively the achievement of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;science students.&lt;/div&gt;</p>
