Pencak silat is a traditional Indonesian martial art that requires not only physical and technical competence but also strong psychological readiness, particularly in evaluative situations such as the Level Promotion Examination (Ujian Kenaikan Tingkat/UKT). Anxiety experienced by athletes before examinations may influence concentration, emotional stability, and performance quality. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the anxiety level of Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT) Sale Branch athletes in facing the 2026 Level Promotion Examination (UKT) and identify the factors contributing to anxiety. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The sample consisted of 30 athletes selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through an 18-item questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale covering cognitive, somatic, and affective dimensions of anxiety. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, including mean, percentage, and standard deviation with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that the average anxiety score was 56.27 with a standard deviation of 6.30. Most athletes were categorized in the moderate anxiety level (83.33%), while 13.33% were categorized as high anxiety and 3.33% as low anxiety. Furthermore, factor analysis revealed that affective factors contributed the largest percentage to athlete anxiety (40.87%), followed by somatic factors (31.58%) and cognitive factors (27.55%). In conclusion, the anxiety level of PSHT athletes facing the UKT was generally moderate, with emotional factors serving as the primary contributor to anxiety.
