Abstract	The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between academic identity status, goal orientations and academic achievement. 301 first year high school students completed the Academic Identity Measure and Goal Orientation Questionnaire. The average of 10 exam scores in the final semester was used as an index of academic achievement. Results showed that academic identity status and goal orientations are related to academic achievement. Diffuse academic identity, mastery-approach goal orientation, and foreclosed academic identity explained the greatest amount of variance in academic achievement. Boys were more likely than girls to have identity diffuse, and mastery-avoidance goal, and girls have higher academic achievement scores than boys. In general, academic identity status and goal orientations accounted for variance on academic achievement. (As Provided).
