The data collection technique we use is the method of filling out questionnaires conducted at SMA Unggulan Al-Azhar Medan which is located on Jl. Pintu Air IV. The implementation of the research was carried out on August 28, 2024. This study aims to determine the factors that are a source of anxiety for 12th grade students ahead of the PTN entrance selection. Anxiety is a disorder caused by excessive worry and fear, anxiety can worsen if it cannot be handled properly, the results of the study show that the cause of anxiety before the selection of the most dominating state university entrance is pressure from parents or teachers. Therefore, this journal will also discuss the importance of the role of family, or the surrounding environment in providing support so that students can prepare themselves better, and be more confident in determining the choice of majors or universities.
