Abstract	The study investigated Basic Science Junior School Certificate Examination as predictor of Senior School Certificate Examination in Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Aba Metropolis of Abia State, Nigeria. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study is correlational. A sample size of 472 students was drawn out of 3098 students from 10 schools out of 15 schools who sat for JSCE Basic Science and SSCE science subjects in 2011 and 2014 respectively through simple, stratified and purposive sampling techniques. The 2011 JSCE Basic Science results and SSCE results in Physics, Chemistry and Biology were used for data collection. Simple regression analysis was used to answer the research questions while analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test associated with the regression were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that JSCE Basic Science significantly predicted Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Senior School Certificate Examination. There was a low prediction between Basic Science and Physic, moderate between Basic Science and Chemistry and high between Basic Science and Biology. On the basis of these findings, it was recommended among others that Basic Science curriculum should have a good coverage of all science subjects.
