dc.description.abstractThis study was conceived primarily because of many questions that came to the minds of teachers and examination experts during a WAEC seminar in 1991. Many education experts were sceptical about the continuous assessment tests - it's validity and reliability and the disadvantages of incorporating the continuous assessment scores in the final senior school certificate results. The research, traced the beginning of continuous assessment in the Nigerian Education System, and went on to find out the relationship between continuous assessment scores and terminal scores. The research went further to discover, through regression analysis, the predictive validity of continuous assessment scores for performance in senior secondary school certificate examination. The findings indicated that most of the continuous assessment scores that came from the schools were haphazardly awarded and that most teachers overgrade their students. Only five schools out of thirteen schools had significant correlations between CASS and TASS scores and regression squares were low in eight out of thirteen schools. Based on the findings, the researcher suggested that for more valid and reliable continuous assessment scores the Federal and State Ministries of Education, teachers and even students had to apply non - statistical moderation, remove bias from scoring and take continuous assessment test more seriously.en_US
