This year, the exam returns to its original format with four (4) papers being assessed over two (2) days.
On Thursday, students will take the Language Arts and Social Sciences papers while on Friday, they will take the Mathematics and Science and Technology Papers.
All papers are in multiple-choice format with the Language Arts having an additional written composition aspect.
The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence continues to solicit the assistance of the bus drivers who will be transporting students to the centers to ensure that their vehicles are properly sanitized and that the students are kept safe while in their care.
The Ministry requests that parents or anyone not directly involved with the exam or the school DO NOT remain on the compounds of any testing center while the examinations are in progress.
The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence wishes each and every Grade 6 Student success in the upcoming assessments.
