The achievement scores of Business students in the SPM exam are still low. There is a gap between determining the level of existing students' ability to master business subjects, with the subject and their real potential of their ability to work in business. Thus, a study was conducted to measure the level of learning stress with the achievement of Business subjects grades of high school students. The study uses a quantitative study at inland high schools. Students who take Business subjects are selected as study participants have completed the questionnaire form. The study's results showed that the stress level of students studying Business subjects was at a moderate level while Spearman Rho's correlation scale analysis showed there was no significant relationship between the learning stress towards achievement of Business subject grades. However, recent studies have found that there is a significantly weak link between levels of learning stress and academic achievement. Furthermore, it is hoped that this study will help the parties concerned to find causes and solutions in improving the achievement of brilliant grades of students of Business subjects in high school. Advanced study is also needed to help improve the student's performance as they will be future leaders in entrepreneurship.
