Qualitative methods were applied in this research with the data collection used were questionnaire and interviews. A total of 30 students filled out the questionnaire and then 10 students with the highest anxiety scores were taken for interviews. The research results showed that from the 30 students in the class 8.3, 4 students were at panic level, 16 students only experienced mild anxiety, 7 students were at moderate level anxiety, and 3 students were at severe level anxiety. Factors that cause student anxiety are lack of preparation, fear of failure, lack of self confidence, bad study habits, high expectations, lack of understanding the material and also overthinking are the internal factors experienced by students. It is also known that parents expectations, exam time pressure, friends, siblings, uncomfortable atmosphere and interference from other participants are factors originating from people and the surrounding environment that cause their anxiety. The results of the interviews show that students also experienced an impact on their body reactions, on their mental health, and also on their academic achievement caused by anxiety during English exams.
