description: Examinations are measurement tools designed to assess learners’  achievement of course learning outcomes. Past studies have shown that  factors such as motivation and study time play a part in enhancing learner  achievement in assessment. The objective of this exploratory study is to  develop a Regression Model that will be used to identify the possible  relationship between the learners’ study time with their academic achievement.  An online questionnaire survey was administered to 98 respondents of year 1  distance learners of the Principle of Management course in the January 2021  semester at Open University Malaysia. The data on the self-report of study time  by the learners for the two variables were analysed. A regression analysis via  Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) analysis tool was performed to  study the relationship between the study time (for completing the assignment  and preparing for the final examination) and academic achievement. The  findings of this study suggest that a regression model can significantly predict  academic achievement. However, based on this model, only the study time  allocated for completing the assignment appears to be significantly correlated  to the course assessment achievement. It is hoped that the findings gathered  will lay the foundation for future research that take into consideration other  relevant factors associated with study time and academic achievement.
