The Purpose of Present research was to provide standardization tables for Maslash Burnout Inventory students survey (MBI-SS). This research was executed over 238 female students at university of Isfahan who were selected randomly. Data were presented using descriptive statistics and graphs. Row grades were transformed into "Z", "T", and percentages and tabe for burnout sub-scales were calculated separately. In order to determine reliability of instruments, internal consistency method and test–retest method were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy were calculated at .88, .90, .84 respectively that showed good internal consistency. Obtained alpha coefficient through test– retest showed reliability of .89, .84, and .67 respectively for exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy. Factor analysis with varimax concurrent and divergent validity, Depression Inventory and self-made scale of interest to academic field of study were used. Obtained coefficients foe exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy were (-.21), (-.53), and (-.32) respectively. Also, concurrent validity for exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy were calculated at .74, .68, and .50. Findings showed that MBI-SS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring academic burnout among female students.
