This research hypothezised that there is a negative relationship between peers social support with the anxiety facing the UN. The population of this study was 361 students of class XII regular SMA Negeri 1 Surakarta. 186 students obtained through cluster random sampling were involved in this study. The data were collected by the Anxiety facing National Exam (UN) Scale (30 aitems valid,α= 0.898) and Peers Social Support Scale (35 aitems valid, α = 0.919), which has been tested on 143 students. Simple regression analysis showed that there was a negative significant correlation between peers social support and anxiety facing National Exam (r = -0.208 and p <0.05). This means the higher the social support acquired from peers, the lower students's anxiety toward the National Exam (UN), and vice versa. Effective contribution of peers social support on anxiety facing the UN at 4.3%. These result indicates that there are other 95.7% factors, which also played a part in affecting the anxiety facing the UN which are not involved in this research.
