The purpose of this study was to develop a scale measuring Korean high school students` university entrance examination stress. A total of 24 items included daily hassles faced by high school seniors preparing for the university entrance examination. A sample of 200 high school seniors in Pusan responded to the University Entrance Examination Scale, the Children`s Depression Inventory, and the Self-Esteem Scale. The procedure included item analysis, criterion-related validation, construct validation. Construct and concurrent validity were acceptable. Four factors including `parental pressure`, `test and grade anxiety`, `lack of leisure`, and `uncertainty of the future` were extracted. The Cronbach`s a were from .70 to .86. The distribution of the total score of the scale was normal. Recommendations for future research were discussed.
