Math Self-Efficacy Scale - Revised (MSES-R)
Purpose
The revised version of the Math Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES-R) has been developed to assess self-efficacy concerning mathematical abilities among college mathematics majors.
Population
The MSES-R is commonly administered in mathematics college courses.
Typical Performance
We do not know of any published results with typical performance. As the LASSO platform collects more data, we will be able to offer better guidance on student performance.
Example question:
1. In a certain triangle, the shortest side is 6 inches. The longest side is twice as long as the shortest side, and the third side is 3.4 inches shorter than the longest side. What is the sum of the three sides in inches?
2. About how many times larger than 614,360 is 30,668,000?
3. There are three numbers. The second is twice the first and the first is one-third of the other number. Their sum is 48. Find the largest number.
Validity
The MSES-R has focused on college mathematics students. Relevant articles are listed below:

Research
We recommend using Google Scholar and the citations listed under validation to find articles of interest.
