FORM TWO ISESE PRE NATIONAL EXAMINATION 2024

The Pre-National Examination (often called Pre-Nationals or Mock Nationals) is a practice or trial examination conducted in some educational systems (particularly in some African countries like Tanzania,Kenya, and Uganda) to prepare students for the official National Examination.

Purpose of Pre-National Exams:

Assessment of Readiness – Helps students gauge their preparedness for the actual national exams.
Identifying Weaknesses – Allows teachers and students to identify areas that need improvement.
Familiarization – Gives students a feel of the exam format, timing, and pressure similar to the real national tests.
Performance Prediction – Schools use results to predict how students might perform in the actual exams.

Examples:

In Tanzania, students may take Pre-NECTA (before the National Examinations Council of Tanzania exams such as FTNA or CSEE).
In Kenya, students take Pre-KCSE (before the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education).
In Uganda, some schools conduct Pre-UCE or Pre-UACE mocks before the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) or Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).
