Issued by: ACTING EXECUTIVE SECRETARY on February 25, 2014.

National Examinations Council of Tanzania announced results of Form Four Examination ( CSEE ) 2013 on  21.02.2014 . After the announcement of the results, the Council has been receiving numerous questions showing  that some education stakeholders did not understand well about the pass  grade points,  the bottom pass mark  and Variation of overall candidate performance. Examinations Council wishes to provide clarification on these issues as follows :

1. Performance standards ( grade) are groups of symbols slotted to keep  together candidates with similar ability in a subject  to distinguish the candidates with those who are in another group . These groups are organized to enable stakeholders to identify how candidates diffuse in different levels of fluency in a  certain subject . National Examinations Council of Tanzania , has been  grouping the candidates  into five ( 5 ) group for a long time until 2012 . In addition , From Test Form Four
 ( CSEE ) 2013, the Council has started using the procedure of Grouping  them into Seven ( 7 ) groups which are A, B +, B , C , D , E and F. This process is intended to reduce congestion of  score in one group . The distribution of these groups are shown in Table. 1.below

GROUP	GRADE	MARKS	NUMBER OF POINTS
1	A	75 - 100	1
2	B+	60 - 74	2
3	B	50 - 59	3
4	C	40 - 49	4
5	D	30 - 39	5
6	E	20 - 29	6
7	F	0 -  19	7

Table 1: Standards of performance used in the Results of the CSEE 2013.  Group  Grade Marks Number of Points

In addition, the number of categories of performance differs from country to country depending on the needs of the country concerned. For example, Kenya have groups candidates into Twelve ( 12 ) , Malawi Nine ( 9), Uganda Nine ( 9), West African countries ( Nigeria, Ghana , Sierra Leon and Liberia) Nine groups .

2 . Considering the performance standards set out in the seven existing categories in Table 1, the minimum performance standard is a grade D and a high level of performance is grade A. Candidates shall have passed the relevant subject if has a grade D and above. Moreover , a candidate who has a grade E and F will not have passed the particular subject.
3. Classes of performance are scheduled in accordance with section 20 ( 1 ) - ( 6) of the Code of Examinations that shows  points for a successful pass in first grade to the third grade based on total  Points score and Performance in Grade IV is planned to focus on the bottom performance a candidate has acquired  which is a grade D in at least two subjects or  a grade C pass in one subject . Thus, the classes used are shown in Table 2.

GRADE	POINTS
I	7 – 17
II	18 – 24
III	25 – 31
IV	1.   Performance  in one subject  not below grade  C  or    2.    Performance  at least two subjects in   grade D
0	Performance  under Grade  D.

4. In accordance with the Rules of Examination , a pass of  a subject in grades A to C will be a performance of " Credit " and a grade D will be  be a " pass " . Either grade E and F will mark  the failure .
5. Council of  exams in Tanzania wishes to inform you that the definition of the characteristics of joining various training at different levels by using this new categorisation  system  will be provided by the authorities concerned. Nevertheless, the Commissioner of Education shall further give  the clarification.
