Online Classroom-based Assessment (CBA) is an assessment in teaching and learning sessions (T&L) conducted online to obtain student information related to the development, progress, abilities, achievements and students’ feedback about teacher’s teaching. COVID-19 was widespread in Malaysia in early 2020, so the government implemented a Movement Control Order (MCO) by closing all sectors including all schools to prevent the spread of the pandemic. The Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) has developed the Home-based teaching and learning (HBL) manual, where teachers who conduct face-to-face T&L have been converted to T&L virtually during the MCO. The T&L process is carried out online so the online CBA is also implemented. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify readiness and challenges for primary school teachers in online CBA. The survey was conducted quantitatively using survey method involving a total of 161 teachers in Bentong District, Pahang as respondents. Researchers used a questionnaire instrument to obtain data and use descriptive statistics to analyze the data collected. The results of the study found that teachers in Bentong District, Pahang have a moderately high level of readiness towards the implementation of online CBA. In addition, the study also found that teachers face challenges at a high level in the implementation of online CBA.
