The technique used for sampling is simple random sampling. Data processing methods are descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The Inferential analysis consists of a normality test, variant homogeneity test, linearity test, hypothesis test 1, 2 and 3 (t-test), test coefficient of determination, and multiple variable hypotheses (F-test).

There is a positive and significant effect between the how to learn on GPA with t count = 2.486 and t table= 1.99 then t count > t table, 3. There is not a positive and not significant effect between the economic conditions of parents on the GPA with t count = 1.550 and t table = 1, 79 then t count > t table, 4. There is a positive and not significant effect between achievement motivation, how to learn, and parental economic conditions together GPA with F count = 3.220 and F table = 3.124 then F count > F table.
