It is quite possible that stressing over exams is the cause of your girlfriend's late period.
During times of high stress, cortisol levels increase. In response, the body "shuts down" non essential functions. The menstrual cycle is one such function.
Once exams have been completed, and she can unwind and relax, her period may start. If she does not get a period for the month, she may consider speaking with her gynecologist or primary care physician. This would be to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalance.
