Given the fact that students are active information processors, we tried to identify their perceptions about evaluation. We tried to study what they think and feel about evaluation practices in schools. Two inquiries were made: a questionnaire and an interview, within a triangulation methodology. These inquiries allowed us to assess the conceptions of the students towards evaluation contents, evaluation procedures, student participation, feelings in different evaluation conditions, factors that affects grading, ideal frequency of testing, evaluation aims and evaluative positive and negative experiences. We tried to establish differences between gender and school failure leveis. The sample was 147 students. The results proved that students perceived evaluation like testing and grading, based exclusively on the teacher responsibility and experienced with negative feelings. The global conception of evaluation do not varies according to the student gender and failure leveis but some particular differences were found.
