2 years (2014 and 2015 academic years). This study sought to find out the
students’ performance in these subjects in the two years in Umuahia Education
Zone ofAbia State. The sample is 2056 students who sat for these examinations
got by a combination ofpurposive and multistage cluster sampling g techniques.
Eleven research questions and four null hypotheses were posed and stated
respectively. Data were analyzed using Percentagesfor research questions and
