The washback effect of a high stakes test may vary in different situations. It can be either positive or negative, and strong or weak. One of the factors influencing the washback of a high stakes test is the suitability of the curriculum implemented with the test content. This study is aimed at investigating the English teachers’ perception on the washback effect of the English National Examination as a high stakes test. Moreover, the way teachers keep abreast with the demands of curriculum and the test and will be revealed. This descriptive qualitative study employed the interview technique in collecting the data taken from two English teachers teaching in public and private schools. The findings indicate that the washback effects that exist in the private school are stronger than in the public school. In addition, both teachers agree that the curriculum is not really in line with the test content.
