Results: Five hundred students completed the questionnaires (response rate was 91%). There was a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy scores and each of the ten areas of learning and study strategies (P<0.01) and between each of the ten areas of learning and study strategies (P<0.01) and also self-efficacy (P<0.05) with the students’ point averages of the previous semester. There was a significant difference between gender and attitude, focus, and motivation (P<0.05). Female students had better attitude, focus, and motivation for learning. There was a significant negative relationship between anxiety, information processing (P<0.05), attitude, focus, motivation, selecting main ideas, testing strategies (P<0.01) also self-efficacy (P<0.01) and semesters spent at the university.
