The purpose of this study was to know the effect of academic stress on student achievement at the Faculty of Education, State University of Medan (UNIMED). Excessive academic demands can cause academic stress, a psychological condition that can negatively impact student achievement. The research methods used were student interviews and literature review. Based on the results of the study, most students experience academic stress caused by very heavy workloads, pressure to excel, expectations from parents and lecturers, and a strict curriculum. These factors can affect students' learning motivation, time management skills, and academic achievement. Based on these findings, it is important for students to implement effective stress management strategies and for universities to provide psychological support to reduce the negative impact of academic stress on learning achievement.
