IUE spectra of six pre-main-sequence (PMS3 stars are analysed and the resultant emission measure distributions compared with that of T Tau for which a chromospheric model has been calculated. The general shape and absolute level of the mean emission measure distributions are remarkably similar, indicating the relevance of the T Tau chromospheric model to other PMS stars. Evidence for the influence of large scale motions and/or stellar winds on the transition region and coronal emission measures is found. The relative importance of different energy balance terms is discussed.
