Abstract

The purposes of this study are to explore the relationship between the school based-test and National based-test results and to prove whether the school-based results can predict the average obtained on National-based results. This study used quantitative method with cross-sectional survey. It focused on the relationship between two variables; the average of school results as independent variable or predictor and the average of National examination as dependent variable. The data were collected for 1446 students from six high schools. The random sampling was adopted to select the schools. The data used in this research were collected using documentation. The data were analyzed by using linear regression. As level of significance, the researchers preferred .05 with SPSS 16. The findings of this study proved that there is no strong correlation between the school based-test and the National based-test average. However, the school results cannot be used as good predictors of National examination results.
