The present study aimed to identify students' perceptions about electronic assessment and their relationships to learning styles and academic self-efficacy.

the sample of the study consisted of 342 male and female students enrolled in the baccalaureate programs at sultan Qaboos university for the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020.

to achieve the goals of the study, three instruments were used after establishing their validity and reliability: students' perceptions about electronic assessment questionnaire, academic self-efficacy beliefs scale, and preferred learning styles scale.

the results of the study showed that students had a neutral perception about electronic assessment and medium level of academic self-efficacy.

also, the results showed that the most preferred learning styles for students were in order: the participatory, competitive, and independent; whereas the least preferred learning styles for students were in order: the cooperative, dependent, and avoidant.

further, the results showed a mediating effect of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between some of the students' preferred learning styles and perceptions about electronic assessment, as well as a direct positive effect of the cooperative learning style on the perception of electronic assessment.

the study came out with a set of recommendations and suggestions to enhance students' perceptions of electronic assessment.
