Egypt's Ministry of Education said on
Monday its website is offering mock tests for Thanaweya Amma students designed
after the newest examination module and covering all the subjects of the high
school final year.
The mock exams are meant to prepare students for the final exams slated to kick off on 12 June. They comprise a short essay section, constituting 15 percent of the total grade, while the rest are multiple choice questions (MCQs).
Over the past two years, the ministry has introduced new examination styles: bubble sheets and on-screen marking.
This is part of the state's effort to replace the decades-old system based on memorization with a modern system based on the comprehension of academic material.
The changes focused on scratching long essays and short answer questions and using more MCQs.
