Important Note
The format for each subject is presented in five sub-sections, namely, Introduction, General Objectives, General Competencies, Content and Rubric.
A Table of Specifications is provided at the end of each format to inform teachers on the percentage weight of a topic in the assessment.
It is expected that these formats will be resourceful not only to examinations officers in the preparation of the National Assessments/Examinations but also to teachers in preparing the school-based assessment.
However, it is recommended that the use of these formats should not replace the subject syllabuses in guiding the teaching and learning processes.
