This study used descriptive qualitative methods with questionnaire and interview instruments. The study has showed that students consider the listening session to be the most difficult session, because it is facilitated by the speed of the speaker, audio interruptions made the audio sound less/unclear when taking the English Test Program, and the lack of practice to improve their listening skills.} }
