The paper will be divided into two main sections: objective and subjective. The objective section will consist of 19 multiple-choice questions, carrying a total of 19 marks. Students will be given 20 minutes to complete this portion, requiring quick recall and accuracy.
The subjective section will carry 56 marks and include seven questions. Candidates will have two hours and ten minutes to attempt this part of the paper. The questions are expected to assess students’ comprehension, grammar, writing skills, and overall command of the English language.
