There were reports stating that the weakness in mathematics was one of the main factors of high dropouts among bumiputra students in IPTS.

This study will try to identify whether there is significant correlation between students’ achievement and their quantitative skills. The quantitative skill factor being studied was the students’ achievement in quantitative subjects, students’ perception towards quantitative subject and students’ mathematical logic intelligence. This study has been conducted on 360 form four students in 10 secondary schools in the district of Kota Setar. This study was conducted by using questionaire with 44 items.
