Abstract

The study examines the correlation of the grades awarded by WAEC (West African Examination Council) and NECO (National Examination Council) in some subjects. The analysis of the results reveals that there was no statistically significant difference between the grades awarded by NECO and WAEC in all the subjects considered. The findings from the study also reveal that candidates performed better (have higher mean score) in some subjects.
