Abstract
Students preparing for exams live a tremendous pressure and fear of failure. Whether they work hard or not, they are prepared or not, they remain stressful and can never guarantee success. The present research work is an attempt that strives to determine the impact of a major psychological problem, namely stress, Algerian third year secondary school students face during their final year exam; the baccalaureate. It is hypothesized that stress has a negative impact on Algerian third year secondary school learners' academic performance. The validity of the aforementioned hypothesis was tested through a questionnaire that helped compile quantitative data from Algerian third year secondary school learners. The research findings revealed that stress impacted negatively our sample's academic performance, which confirmed our hypothesis.
