Student learning success can be seen from academic achievement. However, not all students can achieve maximum performance despite having a high IQ score. Many of the students do not show optimal results or they are usually called underachievers. Many backgrounds affect underachieving students. This study used descriptive statistical methods of 38 students of class X of SMK-SMAK Bogor to analyze the problem of underachieving students. The research results show that guidance is needed for underachieving students to be able to overcome their problem and obtain optimal learning achievement.
