The sample in this study are 30 female students who were selected using purposive sampling technique. The scale used to measure the level of anxiety facing the Qur'an memorization test is the TMAS (Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale) scale. Hypothesis testing is done using the Paired Sample T-Test. Hypothesis testing shows a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.005) which indicates a significant difference in anxiety levels between pre-test and post-test. This means that Islamic self-efficacy training has a significant effect on reducing anxiety in facing the Qur’an memorization test of tahfidz students.
