INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES 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) Heads 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 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 devices that can copy, store or process information
are STRICTLY prohibited from the examination rooms. Invigilators are also 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 tempered 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 to enable the
Council to consider Special Arrangements for the candidate(s) in accordance with
the regulations.
