Abstract
An experimental study one group pretest and posttest on 60 students of class 7th was conducted in public Middle school of district Bannu to determine the effect of homework on middle-level students test performance. 22 lessons randomly selected from their textbook of mathematics were taught in the first phase and in the second phase. A pretest was given at the end of the first phase and posttest was given at the end of the second phase. Homework was given at the end of each lesson in the second phase. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the two scores of two tests. The difference was significant. Therefore the null hypothesis that homework has no effect on the test performance of students was rejected. It was concluded that homework has an optimistic effect on the test performance of middle-level students.
