The school-based assessment was introduced to improve students’ outcomes. School-Based Assessment (SBA) or also known as Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS), is a new holistic form of assessment that assesses cognitive (intellectual), affective (emotional and spiritual), and psychomotor (physical) for primary and secondary school students. The education transformation program of School-Based Assessment (SBA) is consistent with the global trend of continuous education development. It is also parallel to the government of Malaysia’s initiatives to produce a greater quality of human capital development. However, through the following years of implementation, grievances regarding the school-based assessment were given the spotlight in major newspapers. Thus, the teachers’ thoughts on such assessment should be studied more, along with related variables of interest. Findings on the multistage sampling survey of 333 schoolteachers in Selangor discovered that the teachers were inclined to positive sides of the change. The highest mean was shown by competency, followed by competency and the last is workload. Through the construct of workload, the teachers voted that they disagreed with the time they had with the assessment. The result of this study can provide further insight to the education bodies and policymakers to further strengthen the assessment.
