Abstract: The study aimed to determine the relationship between academic stress and the academic achievement of the students at the formal operational stage. The study also identified students' perceptions about academic stressors. Tenth grade students from 36 schools were selected under stratified cluster random sampling technique and formed the sample of the study. To assess the perception of students about their academic stress, a scale was developed by the researchers. The academic achievement of the students was measured by their scores in 9th grade BISE examination. The study found a moderate negative correlation between academic stress and academic achievement of the students. The results showed no significant difference in the academic stress as reported by the students on the basis of gender, however, the students studying science subjects reported higher academic stress as compared to the students studying arts subjects. The participants perceived workload, COVID-19, and exam pressure as major academic stressors.
