Ordinary level Necta Examination format

 NECTA  EXAMINATION FORMAT 

The booklet has been revised to accommodate important changes in learning, which

have occurred since 2008. These changes include the revision of syllabuses for

subjects such as 032 Chemistry (2010),

031 Physics (2010),14 Bible Knowledge

(2012), 061 Commerce (2016), 062 Book-keeping in the Ordinary Level Certificate of

Secondary Education Examinations (CSEE). The changes are also linked to the new

educational policy of 2014, which among other things, direct the country to achieve

middle level economy and industrial development by 2025. Therefore, the National

Examinations Council of Tanzania has to redefine its procedures primarily for

competence-based assessment.

Moreover, the examination format booklet covers the reviewed modes of

administering practical examinations in which One Month Advance Instructions have

been replaced by a checklist of the required materials for conducting such

examinations.

The Examination Formats are presented in five numbered paragraphs for the

introduction, general objectives, general competencies, examination rubric and

examination content. The table of specifications is inserted at the end of each format

and indicates the total weight for each topic and total percentage weighting for the

paper.

Generally, this format booklet is expected to provide guidance for examination setters,

moderators and teachers to set fair, valid and reliable assessment for student

candidates. Also the format provides guidance to students on the structure of the

examination paper. However, classroom teachers are strongly advised not to replace

the syllabus with examination formats.

I am very appreciative to everyone who participated in the revision of these
