Education ministry revises dates for administration of PEP Six exam

KINGSTON Jamaica – Dates for the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) Six exams have been pushed back on account of disruptions caused by recent bad weather.

The Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information advised that after consultation with key stakeholders, a decision was taken to adjust the dates to provide additional preparation time to students.

The revised dates for administration of the tests are: Ability Test, Thursday, February 20, 2025; Performance Task Tests – Wednesday, March 19, 2025 (Language Arts), and Thursday, March 20, 2025 (Mathematics); Curriculum-Based Tests – Wednesday, April 30, 2025 (Language Arts and Science), and Thursday, May 1, 2025 (Mathematics and Social Studies).

The ministry, in a bulletin, said it recognises the challenges faced by students, educators and parents during these trying times, and has, therefore, taken proactive measures to facilitate the best possible outcomes for the learners.

School administrators are being urged to encourage teachers and parents to maximise the additional time given to ensure adequate preparation of the students for the assessment.
