Year Five exam in August
Dharma SRI ABEYRATNE
The Year 5 Scholarship Examination 2012 will be held on August 26,
Examination Commissioner General WMNJ Pushpakumara said.
According to the Commissioner General no changes have been made to
the structure or the content of the examination papers. The answering
time will also remain unchanged. "As usual there will be two examination
papers. The first paper will evaluate human abilities of the student
while the second paper will measure the knowledge gathered by the
student while studying in grade 3, 4 and 5" Commissioner General
Pushpakumara said.
Speaking on the content of the second paper, the Commissioner added
that the question paper will be prepared based on the content of the
three school text books which are taught in Grade 3, 4 and 5.
Any student who faces the Year Five Scholarship Examination can
perform well since the student has learned these three text books.
Therefore, students who have learned the lessons of these three text
books will not face any difficulty when answering the second paper,
Pushpakumara added.
"No question will be prepared out of the text books" he noted.
On the advice of the Education Minister, the Examinations Department
will issue the scholarship examination results as early as possible.
