The study used 210 students who offered science in SSCE2020.Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to analyze the scores of student’s performance in teacher made test and their scores in SSCE. The results showed all the correlation coefficient representing the relationship between Teacher made test scores and scores in SSCE Biology Chemistry Mathematics and Physics were(r=0.5312, 0.3077, 0.4318 and o.2267 respectively at p<0.05). While the hypotheses revealed that there is significant correlation between the teacher made test scores and the students’ achievement in Mathematics Chemistry Biology and Physics in WAEC.
