Abstrakt

This study was conducted to determine whether the performance of students in West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) Chemistry could be predicted from the grade they scored in Mathematics and English at the 2019 Mock Examination. The results of 200 students in five secondary schools in Ahoada East Local Government of Rivers State were collected and analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results showed that performances of students in Mathematics could be used to predict results of SSCE Chemistry. The researchers also found out that results in English Language alone had a low predictive value of performances in Chemistry. The researchers however recommended that credit pass in English Language should not be made compulsory for students who would like to study science and applied sciences. Also, mathematics teachers should put in more effort in teaching the subject because of its importance to science in general and technological advancement in particular.
