Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine how stressful students perceive examination situations to be, which coping strategies they choose to deal with the resulting stress, and which scientifically proven correlations with demographic data such as age and gender can be confirmed, using a sample of students from different universities in German-speaking countries. The study revealed that there is stress in exam situations and that it is felt particularly strongly by women, but that men also suffer from it to a lesser extent, indicating that gender plays a role. According to the research, the reasons for this lie in.
