English Language PSLE NECTA Examination Format 2024 PDF
This revised Primary School Leaving Examination format for English Language subject is based on the 2015 English Language Syllabus for teaching standards III to VII which was effectively used in 2017 (revised in 2019).
That syllabus outlines the general and specific competencies that pupils ought to acquire at the primary education level from standard III to VII.
As such, the English Language examination will assess the competencies each candidate had acquired from standard III to VII.
The revised format replaces the 2020 English Language format which had consisted of 45 questions.
This format, on the other hand, will have 7 questions with 35 assessment items for all four specific competencies derived from three general ones.
These improvements aim at enabling a candidate to cope with the development of Science and Technology, which takes place in the contemporary world and build a competency foundation for secondary and higher education.
