This research is carried out to identifying the level of Mathematical anxiety of students in learning the content of Mathematics Standard Secondary School Curriculum (KSSM). A total of 120 form 4 and 5 students in a secondary school in Perak Tengah district, Perak were selected as respondents. This study is quantitative in nature and uses a questionnaire instrument. This questionnaire contains a measured Mathematics anxiety construct which has been self -constructed and modified based on adaptation of the Abbreviated Mathematics Anxiety Scale (AMAS) and KSSM Mathematics Form 4 and 5 Content. Descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency and percentage were used to analyze the level of Mathematical anxiety of students in learning KSSM Mathematics. In addition, an independent t-test was also used to find out significant differences between Maths anxiety levels according to gender and form level. The results of the study found that a large number of students were still in the group of moderate levels of Math anxiety. In addition, the results of the study found that there is a significant difference between the level of Math anxiety by gender and form level. Based on the results of the study, several implications have been obtained, which is to act as a catalyst for students to focus on the constructs that they need to pay attention to and emphasize without the distraction of Mathematical anxiety, teachers also become more creative in finding innovative learning methods that can overcome Mathematical anxiety based on constructs that have been identified in addition to the role of parents and schools who are more sensitive to the development of students.
