ABSTRACT. This paper considered the comparison of some tests for assessing the overall homogeneity of
Kaplan-Meier survival curves under low and high censoring rates when the curves are disjointed towards the
end. The performances of these tests were measured by their statistical powers. Monte Carlo simulation
study was conducted to evaluate and numerically compare the relative performances of Log-rank,Wilcoxon,
Tarone-Ware, Peto-Peto, Modified Peto-Peto, the Fleming-Harrington (1,1), and the Babalola-Adeleke
tests. The result obtained shows that the Babalola-Adeleke and Fleming-Harrington (1,1) tests have more
