INTRODUCTION
This paper consists of Basic Mathematics series of examinations (for form TWO students). All
exams have been composed based on the current recommend format from National Examination
Council of Tanzania (NECTA) for the year of 2023. Some exams have been collected and
reorganized from regional mock exams conducted in the year of 2022 and 2021.
The paper Aim to exposure students to variety of questions and how to attempt questions
properly. Also, will help students to adapt new format as recommended by NECTA toward their
final examination.
Not only students but also teachers can use it as teaching and learning material during their
teachings.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, we would like to praise and thank God, the Almighty, who has granted
countless blessing, knowledge, and opportunity to the Tzshule Team, so that we have been
finally able to accomplish the work.
Secondly, we would like to thank CEO & Founder of Tzshule (Mr. George Ramadhani ) for
not giving up on his dream of developing and providing educational materials electronically
throughout the country.
We'd also like to thank all Tzshule Users for your support and positive feedback, since it
motivates and encourage us to do more and more in developing educational materials.
- GOD MAY BLESS YOU ALL -
