Qualitative Analysis Guide For ACSEE Chemistry Exams
During monitoring of the national examinations, the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) observed candidates using different Qualitative Analysis Guides (QAG) in chemistry practical examinations.
It was further noted that, some of the guides were written by different authors and were not approved by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
It was also found that, some of the guides had technical errors such as incorrect chemical symbols and formulae, inconsistent information and typographic errors.
This guide was therefore developed in order to have a uniform document that will be used by candidates when writing their chemistry practical examinations at Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE) level.
Qualitative Analysis Guide For ACSEE Chemistry Exams
This guide is based on 2010 advanced level secondary education chemistry syllabus and was used in 2018 in Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE) assessment.
However, it was inevitable for NECTA to accommodate the recommendations and improvements from stakeholders, thus, the need to revise the first edition of 2016.
In addition to the updating the first edition, the current one contains essential materials which were found to be useful. This revised QAG will be effectively used from 2019 in ACSEE.
