Zimsec confirmed late last year that November 2018 Exams will be the first New Curriculum Examination although they later abolished the planned continuos assessment. This means the external candidates will be allowed to register since projects and and tasks are now not part of the assessment method.
However, there are implications to this development
1. If the exam is adopting the new syllabi for Mathematics, Combined Science and other subjects, it means learners who adopted the syllabus at form 3 will need to learn some of the Junior Level content which will be tested in November 2018
2. Learners need to understand the structure of the Exams as specified by the new syllabi. Like in Maths, one has to be aware there are 7 questions in Section B of Paper 2 and 4 questions must be chosen.
3. External candidates need to learn new principles which were added in the syllabus. For Combined Science, one needs to know the difference with integrated science. There are more scientific content and equations in Combined science of which one who is studying Intergrated science is not able to attempt. Also new topics like Peanut Butter Production were added in Combined Science
4. Study alongside a syllabus or find a practicing teacher who has access to more resources and content discussed in workshops and seminars
NB: The FigTree App now has videos for new curriculum video lessons and paying students have access to more resources and help from practicing and qualified teachers. If interested WhatsApp +263 733 796 118
