The population in this study is class XE3 at SMAN 2 Kota Payakumbuh with 36 students. The sample used it 15 respondents with a sampling technique of purposive sampling. This study uses a pre experimental design with One Group Pre and Post Test Design, which uses a treatment group and without using a control group. The results were found that the mean pre test (4.93) and post test (10.40) experienced an increase in concentration with a value of P=0,000. The results showed that there were differences in the level of concentration before being given brain exercise and after being given brain exercise.
