Research studies have proved that students' mathematics self-efficacy and self-regulation is directly related to students' mathematics achievement and overall learning. In this research, correlations and differences of students' mathematics self-efficacy, self-regulation and mathematics achievement in a sample of five hundred female students from five public sector secondary schools studying in grade nine were investigated. The sample was elected by multistage random sampling technique. Two questionnaires were administered to collect data and then it was analyzed. The study exposed that self-efficacy, self-regulation and achievements regarding mathematics are positively connected. Furthermore, it was concluded that students from different schools have no difference in self-efficacy and self-regulation when compared with achievement with mathematics. It was recommended that efficacy beliefs might be built at higher level mathematics students.
