Work should analyse influence of student's self-confidence expressed by answers in entry test on actual result of that test and also on result of written part of exam test. In the second part of the paper, the way how external factors influence student's self-assessment is analysed. Data were gathered from 653 students of on-campus and combined forms of study. Entry tests were taken during first weeks of semester. Authors found that self-assessment is significant factor in the beginning of study and in test for which students are not prepared in advance. Not so for the exam test where results does not differ by groups of previously expressed assessments. Student's personal opinions and self-assessment also depend on external factors mainly as type of high school, gender and fact whether he/she previously passed any certified ICT course.
