Abstract The current study explored the problems faced by students during board exams in 2020–21 in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative, causal comparative research approach was chosen to collect the information regarding problems faced by students during the pandemic. Cross-sectional surveys were used to measure the variables, and the results of these surveys gave numerical descriptions of the variables. The population of the research was comprised of secondary and higher secondary school students. The random sampling technique is used. The data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire. The instrument underwent pilot testing in order to validate and establish its reliability. In addition to descriptive statistics, inferential statistics (including the t-test and the Pearson correlation coefficient), and in order to answer the research questions and ultimately accomplish the purpose of the study, correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The results indicate that students' performance is greatly influenced by their anxiety level in board exams during a pandemic. The scope of this investigation was restricted to the Lahore government school. The researcher suggests that this study might be carried out in several cities around the state of Punjab. The participants in this research were all pupils enrolled in secondary or upper secondary schools. The study suggested that more research should be carried out at the elementary level and that comparisons should be made between the perspectives of kids and adults.
