Students' Happiness and Performance When Tests are Moved
The term happiness is used in the context of mental or emotional states, including positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.[1] It is also used in the context of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, eudaimonia, flourishing, and well-being.[2]. Many children feel better about an upcoming test and the majority of the time they get better grades on the upcoming test, quiz, or large exam. Results from a psychologist at Harvard University revealed that, on average, students who reported being happier had higher grades. Specifically, we found a statistically significant correlation between happiness and students' GPA from elementary school through high school. Happier students received better grades in the future. And those who got better grades saw their happiness increase. Grades K–12: This study assessed students from K – 12 and found that 'happiness is positively correlated with motivation and academic achievement. Happiness is one of the variables that are related to academic achievement. According to research, the people who have a high sense of happiness are more active in academic performance and progress in higher education (Fritz, 1984). University students form a large portion of the active population of a country. Several other studies suggest that happiness can influence academic success. Furthermore, they reveal that emotions significantly influence students learning strategies, cognitive resources, motivation, and academic achievement.

Mental Stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Stress can cause people to forget the topic on the quiz or test even if they studied for it all week! Extreme levels of stress can hinder work effectiveness and lead to poor academic performance and attrition. Today’s students may be more stressed than ever before. In fact, the 2015 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment found that 85.6 percent of students had felt overwhelmed in the past year. The pressures of getting top grades, balancing extracurricular activities with studying, and spending time with family all add up. College students who experienced stressful life events also reported worse health outcomes and reduced quality of life. According to a report published in Frontiers in Psychology, 69% of high school students report that they have a great deal of stress daily because of school. 31% percent said that they felt somewhat stressed. A study at NYU found that students deal with chronic stress at higher rates than adults. A new study finds that when students experience an academic setback such as a bad grade, the amount of cortisol—the so-called stress hormone—in their bodies typically spikes. For most students, it drops back down to normal levels a day later, but for some, it stays high.
