This research belongs to ex-post facto type with descriptive-quantitative approach. The sample, a cluster one, was 20% of the population which was 150 students of the six grade or two classes of each category. The data for the learners’ self-concept, learning habit, and achievement motivation was collected through questionnaire based on Likert scale with four options of answer, while that of the students learning achievement was taken from the list of scores of the National Examination.

The result was that the mean score of the self concept was 3.175, the learning habit 3.311, and the achievement motivation 2.973, which belong to the category “high, very high, and high” respectively. The mean score of the learning achievement was 22.09, which was categorized as “fair”. Individually, the self-concept (t = 3.512, p = 0.001), learning habit (t = 2.603, p = 0.010), and achievement motivation (t = 2.679, 0 = 0.008) gave positive and significant effect toward learning achievement. Simultaneously, the three variables X₁ (the self-concept), X₂ (the learning habit), and X₃ (the achievement motive) showed significant effect, the F count being 12.789 with p at 0.000.
