Form Two Examination Summary
Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) - Northern Zone Joint Examinations Syndicate (NZ-JES)
Overview
The Form Two Pre-National Assessment for 2025 was conducted by the Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) through the Northern Zone Joint Examinations Syndicate (NZ-JES). The assessment covered three core subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Basic Mathematics, each designed to evaluate students' understanding of fundamental concepts and their application abilities.
The examinations were structured to test knowledge across various cognitive levels, from basic recall to application and problem-solving. Each paper included multiple-choice questions, structured questions, and in some cases, practical or diagram-based questions to comprehensively assess student competency.
Physics Examination
The Physics paper (Code 031) was a 2.5-hour examination consisting of three sections with a total of ten questions. Section A included multiple-choice questions covering laboratory safety, light properties, electricity, mechanics, and energy concepts. Section B required detailed answers on topics including magnetism, thermodynamics, motion, and simple machines.
Key areas assessed included:
- Laboratory safety precautions and procedures
- Light behavior through different materials
- Electrical calculations using Ohm's Law
- Pressure and surface area relationships
- Image formation in mirrors
- Energy transformations
- Density calculations
- Static electricity concepts
- Renewable and non-renewable energy sources
Section C included more advanced problems involving velocity-time graphs, momentum conservation, and machine efficiency calculations.
Chemistry Examination
The Chemistry paper (Code 032/1) was a 3-hour examination divided into three sections. Section A contained multiple-choice questions testing fundamental concepts including types of mixtures, gas identification, combustion, chemical bonding, and scientific methodology.
Notable content areas included:
- Types of chemical reactions and equations
- Atomic structure and subatomic particles
- Stoichiometry and mole concept calculations
- Electrochemistry and Faraday's laws
- Catalysis in industrial processes
- Chemical bonding and compound formation
- Isomerism in organic compounds
- Environmental chemistry and pollution
- Metal extraction processes
The examination required students to balance chemical equations, perform calculations involving moles and gas volumes, and explain chemical processes in industrial and environmental contexts.
Basic Mathematics Examination
The Basic Mathematics paper (Code 041) was a 2.5-hour examination consisting of ten compulsory questions covering a wide range of mathematical concepts and skills.
Key content areas included:
- Number operations including GCF, LCM, and decimal conversions
- Unit conversions and significant figures
- Geometry including angle calculations and area problems
- Algebra including simultaneous equations and quadratic equations
- Ratio, proportion, and percentage calculations
- Coordinate geometry and transformations
- Logarithms and surds
- Trigonometry and exact values
- Set theory and Venn diagrams
- Statistics including frequency distributions
The paper emphasized practical application of mathematical concepts to real-world situations, requiring students to show all working and provide answers in simplest form where appropriate.
Examination Structure
All examinations followed a similar pattern with clear instructions regarding allowed materials (non-programmable calculators only), prohibited items (communication devices), and requirements for writing assessment numbers on every page. Each paper provided necessary constants and formulas, reducing the need for memorization and focusing instead on application of concepts.
The assessments were designed to prepare students for national-level examinations while identifying areas needing improvement in the Form Two curriculum. The balanced approach between theoretical knowledge and practical application aimed to develop well-rounded students capable of critical thinking and problem-solving across scientific and mathematical disciplines.
