As is now well known ZIMSEC in conjunction with the Ministry of Education made some material changes to Zimbabwe’s curriculum. This curriculum ( new curriculum as we will from here now call it) made some involved changes to the way students are examined.
The biggest change was supposed to be continuous assessment. However due to financial constraints ZIMSEC have since indefinitely suspended continuous assessment except for Science and Practical subjects such as Agriculture and Computer Science which had continuous assessment even in the old syllabus.
Below are links to specimen papers for the New Curriculum. The first examination under the New Curriculum was administered in November 2018. It involves some significant changes and the purpose of these specimen papers is to provide a feel of what a typical examination will be like.
