Underachievement in mathematics has been a great concern globally for decades and remains hotly debated in many research studies. Various factors related to students’ mathematics achievement have been widely discussed. This study examines the undergraduate students’ mathematics achievement (Pre-Calculus result) across gender and mathematics background (SPM Mathematics & SPM Additional Mathematics results). This study also investigates the students’ attitude, self-efficacy and anxiety concerning gender and mathematics achievement. A quantitative approach was employed by disseminating a questionnaire to diploma students of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sarawak, who enrolled in the PreCalculus course (MAT133).
