The University of Benin was used as the field for the research. Five Faculties in the university were chosen for the study and seven respondents were taken from each faculty making a total of 35 respondents for the study.
The research design used for the study was survey research design and questionnaires were constructed to answer the research questions for the study and administered to the respondents. The split half reliability test method was used to verify the reliability of the questionnaire and the Spearman Brown Formula was used to correct it. The simple percentage method was used for the analyzing the data gathered from the field due to the fact that the questionnaires were constructed on a yes or no continuum.
The findings of the study revealed that the incidence of missing scripts and misplaced scores can occur when Students fail to sign the examination attendance register before during or after examination, when examination scripts are not properly stored after examination and so on. It also revealed that the incidence of missing scripts and misplaced scores can lead to the depression of students morale and academic passion, It can also lead to poor academic performance of students, just to mention but a few. It is recommended that students should be sensitized about the importance of signing the attendance register before taking an examination and if possible be reminded to sign the examination attendance register at the point of submitting their examination script and so on.
