These were analyzed using Multiple Regressional-Analysis The results indicated that attitude contributed more to students’ achievement in the course than entry qualification which had a negative contribution. Furthermore, the Multiple R (0.03405) implies low relationships among the three variables, and R² Value (0.001) reflects the low contributions of the two independent variables to the dependent variable.
