Examinations are a source of stress, triggering emotional, cognitive, and hormonal responses. We examined women’s psychological and hormonal stress responses and academic performance according to personality during a real-life examination. Methods: Female students (N = 66) were divided into two groups based on hierarchical cluster analysis: one cluster characterized by high neuroticism and moderate extraversion (HN-ME; n = 42) and the other by low neuroticism and high extraversion (LN-HE; n = 24). Academic performance, perceived stress, and emotional dysregulation were analyzed. State anxiety, affect, and cortisol release were measured before and on the examination day. Results: The HN-ME cluster was high in perceived stress, emotional dysregulation, and negative affect. This cluster also had higher state anxiety levels two days before and shortly after the examination compared to the LN-HE cluster. Students’ cortisol levels were higher on the examination day, and there was a marginal significance of the Cluster factor in the cortisol release regardless of the day of measurement. Conclusions: Women with high neuroticism and moderate extraversion may be more vulnerable to psychological stress in academic settings but similar to other women in their cortisol response. 000144767 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/Fundación Universitaria Antonio Gargallo-2019-B002$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2019-SOC-01 000144767 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000144767 590__ $$a1.9$$b2024 000144767 592__ $$a1.458$$b2024 000144767 591__ $$aPSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b88 / 221 = 0.398$$c2024$$dQ2$$eT2 000144767 593__ $$aArts and Humanities (miscellaneous)$$c2024$$dQ1 000144767 591__ $$aPSYCHIATRY$$b176 / 288 = 0.611$$c2024$$dQ3$$eT2 000144767 593__ $$aPsychiatry and Mental Health$$c2024$$dQ1 000144767 593__ $$aDevelopmental and Educational Psychology$$c2024$$dQ1 000144767 593__ $$aClinical Psychology$$c2024$$dQ1 000144767 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000144767 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4732-6417$$aFidalgo, Camino$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000144767 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4249-602X$$aMendez-Lopez, Magdalena$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000144767 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7293-318X$$aOsma, Jorge$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000144767 700__ $$aPeiro, Teresa 000144767 700__ $$aSalvador, Alicia 000144767 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3920-1099$$aHidalgo, Vanesa$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000144767 7102_ $$14009$$2725$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
