Social Studies and Vocational Skills PSLE NECTA Examination Format 2024 PDF
The Primary School Leaving Examination format for the Social Studies and Vocational Skills subject has considered the 2015 syllabus which was effectively used in 2017 and translated in 2020.
The syllabus has identified general and specific competencies for this subject, which a candidate should acquire from Standard III to VII at the primary school level.
As such, the Social Studies and Vocational Skills examination that will be prepared based on this this format will aim at assessing the competencies the candidate will have mastered from Standard III to VII.
This revised format has further improved the 2020 Social Studies and Vocational Skills examination format, which consisted of 45 questions.
Instead, this examination format will consist of seven (7) questions with 35 items based on all the eight general competencies.
The format will assess the candidate on all cognitive domains. These improvements aim to enable the candidate to cope with the global Science and Technology development trends and to build good foundational competencies for secondary and higher education.
