I propose to take Questions Nos. 263 and 264 together.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations.

In view of this I have forwarded your question to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 265 and 266 together.

Neither my Department nor the State Examinations Commission has any role in relation to the setting, running or marking of mock examinations. Decisions to hold mock examinations are taken by individual schools and not all schools run mock examinations. The format of these examinations varies from school to school and are a matter for the school concerned.
