It’s known that exam stress could cause a failure in exam. Religiosity is known to have negative relationship to one’s stress state. The purpose of this study is to test the relationship between religiosity and exam stress on 12th grade high school students who will have to take the Ujian Nasional. The hypothesis of this study is there’s a negative relationship between religiosity and exam stress. The Product Moment correlation technique by Pearson is used to examine the relationship between two variables.

Exam stress on students could be reduced by increasing their religiosity.
