Abstract: This study examines the impact of students’ self-efficacy on grade point scores. The data came from 59 sports-science majors (38 males and 21 females) who were in their third semester and were enrolled in the subject Exercise Psychology (SPS543). An online self-efficacy measuring scale was adapted from a previous scale to measure the students’ grade point scores. The Pearson correlation showed a positive significant relationship in that students with higher self-efficacy scores also scored higher in grade point scores. As for gender differences, the independent t test indicated no significant difference in self-efficacy and grade point scores between male and female students. The findings revealed that self-efficacy for a specific subject’s grade point scores is a good measure other than more generalized performance scores. However, level of stress might have influenced the students who predicted a lower score. Future research may focus on students’ anxiety levels prior to final exams, which affect grade point scores.
