The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between university entrance exam experiences and career choice self-efficacy (CCSE) and career outcome expectations (COE). Participants were 227 undergraduate students. First, the University entrance exam Experiences Scale (UEs) was developed. Factor analysis revealed 3 factors were obtained: "effort experience", "anxiety during preparation for entrance exam", and "dissatisfaction with results". A hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that "goal selection", "planning", and "degree of independence in decision making" in CCSE were significantly positively related to "effort experience", and negatively related to "anxiety during preparation for entrance exam". "Information gathering" was positively associated with "effort experience", and "dissatisfaction with results". However, COE showed little association with the UEs. These results suggested that university entrance exam experiences, especially effort experience in the process of university acceptance, was important for career choice self-efficacy.
