Emotion has a substantial influence on cognitive processes in humans, including perception, attention, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving. The effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent, as studies have reported that emotion either enhances or impairs learning and long-term memory retention, depending on a number of factors. The results of the research show that the vast majority of respondents who do not cope with stress are between 18 and 25 years old, and the least, those between 31 and 35 years old. Most of them manage to control their emotions. The emotions/states of mind towards the exams identified by the respondents were mostly those of tension and fear, and a small percentage of them reacted positively.
