Abstract
Under the guidance of Weiner´s attribution theory, the author investigated and analyzed the college-students´ attribution of computer rank examination in Zhejiang Province through interview and questionnaire survey. Results showed that there were defects in the student´s attitudes as they regarded the external factors were more important and ignored the internal factors. In the examination, such factors as sex and major had no effect on the success and failure while the factor of exam category were remarkably distinct. High as their expectations were for the following exam, those who failed were negative in adjusting their learning methods and strategies.
