Predicting Students' Exam Scores Using Physiological Signals [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 While acute stress has been shown to have both positive and negative effects on performance, not much is known about the impacts of stress on students grades during examinations. To answer this question, we examined whether a correlation could be found between physiological stress signals and exam performance.
