The students need to give more attention to their problem-solving skills. Some of them still feel difficult to interpret in suitable ways. The purpose of this study was to identify the relation between mathematics problem-solving skills and self-efficacy in the Chapter Lines and Angles of the students of MTs N 2 Pemalang. The population of this research was the students of seventh grade in MTs N 2 Pemalang. By simple random sampling technique, class 7A was selected as the sample of the research. A mixed method was used, including quantitative and qualitative approach. The result of the research showed that (i) there was significant relation between self-efficacy and problem-solving skills in the score of the students (ii) the students with high self-efficacy answered the questions with detail and complete answers. The steps that the students did were correct and suitable with the problems. It showed that their problem-solving skills were excellent (iii) the students with low self-efficacy answered the question by not giving the detailed information. It showed that they still struggled with their problem-solving skills.
