Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihatgambaran coping kecemasan pada siswa SMA yang mengadapi UTBK tahun 2019.

Coping tersebut dominan melibatkan kognitif, seperti problem solving, managing avoidance, challenging anxious thoughts. Sedangkan pada siswa perempuan, coping juga melibatkan emosi, yakni berdoa.
Abstract - In 2019, Kemenristekdikti will legitimate a new policy about the admission of new state university students, which is a computerized based test called UTBK. The students will attend the UTBK first and the score will be used to be their tickets to apply to the state university. Based on the data, it seems that the universities themselves have a limitation on accepting new students, therefore it might cause a huge percentage of students who fail attending university.

According to that possibility, the assumption is every student who has anxiety will have different types of coping strategies with their anxiety. Thus, this research aims to describe how the students cope with their anxiety within this circumstance. The method that is used in this research is the qualitative method with a descriptive approach.
