In the very important instruction and assessment process, high quality learning can only be facilitated by high quality assessment, which equips the learners with competencies for their future workplaces. Thus, it is important to know what competencies we value and how best to measure and promote for future workplace of our learner. It is the Formative assessments carried out during class interaction for the purpose of improvement in student learning and to meet their needs. Looking into the lack of quality of conventional assessment and rote memorization even at university level in Pakistan, the study was designed to investigate the perception of students especially the science students regarding formative assessment. An instrument constituting of six factors on four-point Likert scale was used to collect data from 428 students across three departments (Chemistry, Mathematic and Biology) from ten universities (public & private) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province - Pakistan. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA for comparing means. Based on percent responses of the students’ perception of assessment task, selective formative assessment strategies and less feedback have limited the capabilities of students.
