The assessment of education in Malaysia aims to obtain information on student performance to fully develop the potential of individuals as harmonious and balanced human capital in line with the National Philosophy of Education. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between teacher attitude, readiness, integrity, and the implementation of School-Based Assessment (SBA) based on the Primary School Curriculum (PSC). A total of 297 primary school teachers in the Ranau district were selected as respondents in this study to answer the questionnaire. Data were processed and analyzed using Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 26.0. The findings show that the level of teacher attitude is intermediate but that teachers' readiness and integrity towards the implementation of school-based assessments are high. There is a positive and high relationship between teacher attitude, readiness, integrity, and School-Based Assessment. In addition to teachers needing to be positive, ready, and honest, teachers will find that SBA has many benefits and can reduce the burden of teacher work if handled and implemented wisely.
