A dummy variable regression was carried out on the cumulative grade point average of the respondent. The factors considered were; the study hours, reading habit, mother’s level of education, monthly allowance and involvement in extra-curricular activities. Of all these factors, reading habit and mother’s level of education were significant at the 5% level. Specifically, reading on a daily basis was the significant category of the reading habit factor in the dummy variable regression while educated mother is the significant category in the mother’s education factor.en_US
