Predictive validity of technical drawing mock examination scores on school of science students’ wassce examination scores

AbstractThe study examined the predictive validity of mock examination scores on WASSCE examinations performance in Oyo State Schools of Science Technical drawing. Three hypotheses guided the study. Correlation and ex-post facto research designs using purposive sampling technique were used for the study. 137 final year students participated in the study. Mock and 2019-2021 May/June WASSCE examination computerized result sheets by WASSCE council were collected from the schools under study. The null hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using linear regression statistics.
