INSTRUCTIONS AND GUDELINES FOR CANDIDATES AND EXAMINATION CENTRES

Please go through this Examination Time-Table and these instructions thoroughly

before you register for the Examination.

a) This Time-Table should not be varied or adjusted in order to accommodate

any other Examination(s) without the authority of ZIMSEC.

b) NO EXTRA TIME will be allowed beyond the time allocated for each
component/paper. A Special Consideration and Special Arrangement facility is
available for candidates who sit for Examinations under adverse conditions
such as illness or bereavement in accordance with Examination Regulations.

c) Examination dates and the duration of the Examination for each paper on this
Time-Table take precedence over all Examination dates and times/duration
quoted elsewhere in any other document issued by ZIMSEC unless otherwise
advised officially by the Council in separate correspondence.

d) Candidates MUST register for ALL their Examinations across levels in one
Centre. ZIMSEC will not approve any arrangements for candidates who wish
to sit for their Examinations from multiple Examination Centres.

e) Head of Examination Centres are advised NOT to register Candidates beyond

their approved thresholds. Unregistered candidates SHOULD NOT present
themselves for Examinations.

f) In cases where a candidate is registered for Examination papers which are

time- tabled in the same session, the candidate MUST apply for Time -Table
deviation through the Head of the Examination Centre sixty (60) days before
the Examination. This also applies to candidates who registered for
Examinations across levels.

g) Heads of Examination Centres MUST ensure that No candidate sits for

Examinations for more than nine (9) hours in any given Examination day.

h) It is MANDATORY for ALL PRIVATE candidates to present positive

identification to the Head of the Examination Centre or Invigilator(s) before
they are allowed to register for any Examination.

i) Examination Centre authorities and Invigilators are not allowed to bar

candidates from writing any Examination for any reasons other than as stated
in the ZIMSEC Examination Regulations. Therefore No Candidate should be
barred from writing Examinations because he/she has not paid school
fees and levies. ALL registered candidates whose Examination fees are fully
paid have the right to write Examinations for all papers they registered for.

j) Candidates should not abuse this provision (i) to violet school rules and
disrespect authorities. This Examination Time -Table DOES NOT suspend
school rules and discipline. Appropriate disciplinary actions shall be taken by
the school and ZIMSEC will not intervene if such disciplinary actions prejudice
the candidate’s right to sit for his/her Examinations. Be guided accordingly.

 k) Mobile cellular phones, smart digital/cellular watches or clocks, spy glasses,
spy pens and any other electronic device that can copy, store or process
information are STRICTLY prohibited from the Examination rooms. Invigilators
are not allowed to bring these gargets into the Examination rooms.

l) For time management, Centres SHOULD use clocks which are visible to every
candidate in the Examination room. All Examinations MUST begin and end at
stipulated time-tabled times without variation, therefore, clocks used for time-
management in the Examination rooms SHOULD not be adjusted backwards
or forward in violation of this requirement.

m) It is MANDATORY and every candidate’s right to check all question paper

envelopes before they are opened to ensure that no one has tampered with the
question papers before the Examination.

n) The collection and packing of scripts and the sealing of script envelopes after
the Examination MUST be done in the Examination room(s) in full view and
witnessed by all candidates. Heads of Examination Centres SHOULD enforce
this regulation.

o) Candidates and all individuals involved in the administration of Examinations

are encouraged to report to ZIMSEC or any authorised person(s) candidates,
officials or individuals who breach Examination Regulations.

p) Results for any candidate(s) who engage(s) in any form of cheating in the
Examination shall be CANCELLED and the candidate shall be prosecuted.
ZIMSEC SHALL revoke the Examinations Centre status for any Centre that
breaches ZIMSEC Examination Regulations.

q) A schedule of subject paper components available for the November

Examinations is attached to this Time-Table to guide candidates in their
registration for Examinations. Any special requirements by any candidate
should be communicated to ZIMSEC three (3) months before the Examination
