GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF ANA EXEMPLAR QUESTIONS
1. How to use the exemplar questions
While the exemplar questions for a grade and a subject have been compiled into one comprehensive set, the learner
does not have to respond to the whole set in one sitting. The teacher should select exemplar questions that
are relevant to the planned lesson at any given time. Carefully selected individual exemplar questions, or a
manageable group of questions, can be used at different stages of the teaching and learning process as follows:
1.1 At the beginning of a lesson as a diagnostic test to identify learner strengths and weaknesses. The diagnosis
must lead to prompt feedback to learners and the development of appropriate lessons that address the
identified weaknesses and consolidate the strengths. The diagnostic test could be given as homework to save
instructional time in class.
1.2 During the lesson as short formative tests to assess whether learners are developing the intended knowledge
and skills as the lesson progresses and ensure that no learner is left behind.
1.3 At the completion of a lesson or series of lessons as a summative test to assess if the learners have gained
adequate understanding and can apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the completed lesson(s).
Feedback to learners must be given promptly while the teacher decides on whether there are areas of the
lesson(s) that need to be revisited to consolidate particular knowledge and skills.
1.4 At all stages to expose learners to different techniques of assessing or questioning, e.g. how to answer
multiple-choice (MC) questions, open-ended (OE) or free-response (FR) questions, short-answer questions,
etc.
While diagnostic and formative tests may be shorter in terms of the number of questions included, the summative test
will include relatively more questions, depending on the work that has been covered at a particular point in time. It is
important to ensure that learners eventually get sufficient practice in responding to the exemplar questions.
2. Memoranda or marking guidelines
A typical example of the expected responses (marking guidelines) has been given for each exemplar question and for
the ANA model test. Teachers must bear in mind that the marking guidelines can in no way be exhaustive. They can
only provide broad principles of expected responses and teachers must interrogate and reward acceptable options
and variations of the acceptable response(s) given by learners.
3. Curriculum coverage
It is extremely critical that the curriculum must be covered in full in every class. The exemplar questions for each
grade and subject do not represent the entire curriculum. They merely sample important knowledge and skills and
covers work relating to terms 1, 2 and 3 of the school year.
