Mathematics is considered as a tough subject in education. Mathematics anxiety is a feeling associated with stress, anxiety when it comes to manipulating numbers and solving, problem-solving questions. These mathematics anxiety can cause one to feel powerless and unable to solve any problems involving mathematical calculation. It also causes a person to feel fear and phobias with anything related to the subject The purpose of this research was to perform a systematic analysis study based on studies concerning `Secondary School Students Mathematics Anxiety`. 27 articles were analysed to answer the questions in this systematics literature review. ERIC and Research Gate database were used in this study. This study was conducted to analysis the achievement and the factors that contributed to the anxiety. Most of the studies were carried out on secondary school students. This was also noted that the majority of studies examined were formulated according to quantitative approaches. From this study one can conclude that the qualitative studies and the mix method conclusion were lacking , this systematic review study is important for everyone, especially teachers, parents and students alike recognizing the existence of mathematical concerns in schooling and beyond devised intervention measures to help students in secondary schools.
