A self-administrated questionnaire including factors affect the oxygen saturation levels, measurement of the oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter, and digital span test which include forward and backward test. The data from this research were analyzed using mean descriptive and inferential statistical tests, standard deviation, and t-test and ANOVA with a significance level of p < 0.05.

Results: Results showed that academic performance of the students had the highest correlation with the cognitive functions (p <.05). Mean± SD of cognitive function test in male and female was (14.46±3.14, 16.75±3.22 respectively), there is statistically significance difference between male and female students (p=.002).

Conclusions: Results of the study concluded that the O2 saturation level are within normal range for sample population. There is a difference between male and female students in cognitive function scores; better for female students.
