This study aims to find the students’ competency in listening test and also to find out their problems through the listening test result. There are two problems that had been discussed. The first problem is to find out the students’ competency in listening test and also to find out their problems through the listening test result. This article explains that when students are made aware of the factors that affect listening, the levels of listening, and the components of the listening process, they are more likely to recognize their own listening abilities and engage in activities that prepare them to be effective listeners. Therefore, listening comprehension must be the major topic to be taught in learning English as the second language prior teaching the other skills. It must be taught at the beginning of the teaching process. In this research, it can be seen that the biggest difficult things in listening was how to focus and concentrate on the conversation and understand the content. In this case, exercises are very much needed since listening skill is an integral part of language learning. The more they take exercises in listen the native speakers, the more they get familiar with the words and the better they have the foundation in increasing their understanding and comprehension. Furthermore, by giving them motivation in learning the L2 which is different from their L1, it is hoped that they will be able to increase their ability particularly in mastering the listening skill.
