The Multi- stage sampling techniques were adopted to select 152 participants for the study The instrument used for the data collection was students’ grade chart (SGC) , It were designed in such a way that the students’ grades could be obtained in STANINE form. Two-research hypotheses were formulated and tested to guide the study at 0.05 level of significance. The empirical findings showed that; Mock Examinations in Mathematics and Biology are good predictors of SSCE Mathematics and Biology; also, there is a significant relationship between Mock Examination and WASSCE performances especially for Mathematics and English Language.
