Participants completed motivated strategies and metacognitive state questionnaires.  In evaluation of suggestive model was used Amos software and path analysis method. According to the amount of acquiring indexes the data fit the model: (1) metacognitive abilities was a positive predictor for the self-efficacy, and was a negative predictor for the control beliefs about learning; (2) self-efficacy was a positive predictor for control beliefs about learning, intrinsic goal orientation,  extrinsic goal orientation, task value and was a negative predictor for test anxiety (3) metacognitive abilities was a significant predictor for the all dimensions of motivational beliefs. According to these results, increasing of metacognitive abilities leads to reduction of test anxiety and promote of  self-efficacy, intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value and  control beliefs about learning in studentsss
