NCDC S.1 & S.2 Geography

Guidance to the Teacher
These sample test items are intended to guide teachers of Geography how to develop end of year assessment items for Senior One and Two. They do not constitute a complete examination paper for the subject. To determine the number of items in the paper, the teacher should consider the demand of each item on the test taker and the duration an average learner can spend providing a response. Ideally, at this level, a Geography examination should not take more than 2hours. For Situational (integrative) items, scores may vary depending on the complexity of the item and the number of outputs demanded of the learner. For example, scores for the item on Map reading and map use are not fixed or limited to what the sample item shows. They are determined basing on the skills assessed in the item. The teacher should benchmark on the samples provided rather than replicate them.
