PEP Grade 06 Curriculum-Based Test Science Course


Description

The PEP Curriculum-Based Test (CBT) Science Course provides students with general access to comprehensive Science content aligned with Jamaica’s National Standards Curriculum (NSC). Designed to support students preparing for the PEP Science CBT examination, the course brings curriculum content, practice activities, examination preparation, explanations, and technology together in one convenient online learning programme.

Developed by Dr. Shalette Ashman, author of twelve Ministry of Education-approved PEP workbooks and textbooks, the programme allows students to work through Science concepts systematically while strengthening the knowledge and skills required for the PEP Curriculum-Based Test.

Complete Curriculum Coverage and PEP Preparation

Students receive access to Science content covering the relevant areas of the National Standards Curriculum. Lessons and activities are organized to help students build their understanding progressively, review important concepts, practise what they have learned, and prepare for the types of questions they may encounter in the PEP Science CBT examination.

Students also receive practice with authentic PEP past paper questions, supported by detailed answers and explanations that help them understand not only what the correct answer is, but why it is correct. This approach supports the development of scientific reasoning, problem-solving skills, examination technique, and confidence when answering CBT-style questions.

The course is also AI-powered, giving students access to additional assistance as they learn. Students can ask questions and receive instant feedback and guidance, providing additional support while they work independently through the course content.

Because the programme is online, students can access the content at times that are convenient for them, revisit lessons when necessary, practise concepts repeatedly, and move through the programme at a pace that supports their learning.
