Examinations are one of the causes of anxiety commonly experienced by medical students, leading to both physical and psychological responses. Effective coping mechanisms in response to stressors are necessary for medical students as a defense mechanism. Objective: This research aims to explore the causes of exam anxiety, the contributing factors to anxiety and the coping mechanism used by medical students. Methods: The research adopts a qualitative descriptive design, the sample consist of active medical students from Faculty of Medicine, Ahmad Dahlan University who have faced block examinations. Sample selection was done using a test- anxiety inventory, with participants chosen from each academic year and divided into focus group discussion (FGD) sessions.
