Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the impact of selected socioeconomic and demographic variables on the success of students at the Department of Professional Studies, University of Split, Zagreb Teaching Centre, in the colloquium of business statistics in the second semester, the academic year 2009/10. Independent variables in the model are: the percentage of students’ presence at lectures and exercises, the amount of time spent in self-study, gender, age, employment status, personal study conditions and parenting status. The dependent variable is the number of points achieved at the colloquium. The research results confirmed some assumptions. The students’ regular attendance of both lectures and exercises has a positive impact on the number of points in the colloquium. A positive impact on the success in the colloquium was confirmed for the variable the time spent in self-study, too. Also, students who rated their own study conditions by grades good (3) and very good (4), on a scale from 1 to 5, had significantly better results than other students. The other variables such as age, gender, employment and parenting did not prove to be statistically significant.
