This study is a descriptive qualitative research. The data collection method used math anxiety tests, math ability tests, thought process tests, and interviews to determine students ' thought processes. The subjects of the study consisted of three high school XI female students with equivalent mathematical ability that is medium. The ability of students is measured using a math ability test that contains questions related to Class X material. Students with low anxiety solved the problem well and were full of confidence that the answers given were correct. Students with anxiety are solving problems well despite some mistakes and a little doubt about the answers given. Students with anxiety are solving problems with some errors and are not confident that the answers given are correct
