The design of the study was correlation and the population was all the 1956 students in senior secondary school II students in biology in the 2008/2009 academic session.

The method of data collection was documentary information from students' scores on formative and diagnostic tests. Pearson ‘r’ and t-test were used to correlate and test the research question and hypothesis at 0.05 level of confidence respectively. Based on the analyzed data, it was found out that out of the 10 schools studied, the relationship between formative and diagnostic scores was significant in seven schools, the relationship was significant in the co-educational and boys schools but that was not significant in the girls' schools
