Candidates Should Check Their Registered Subjects Carefully
The timetable contains papers with similar names at ordinary and advanced levels, so candidates should identify the exact examination and trade entered during registration before relying on a date or time.
Some subjects also appear more than once because different components or stages are scheduled separately.
Candidates should keep the downloadable timetable within reach and confirm their papers ahead of each examination date.
Papers With Times to Be Arranged
Some long practical subjects do not have a fixed clock time in the supplied timetable.
These entries are marked To be arranged, including Advanced Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice on 2 November, Advanced Surface Design & Printing of Textile on 4 November, Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice on 4 November, Foundry Craft Practice on 4 November, Fabrication and Welding on 4 November, Advanced Foundry Craft Practice on 5 November, Advanced Furniture Making on 5 November and Advanced Fabric Production on 7 November.
Candidates registered for these papers should pay close attention to the arrangements made for the relevant examination.
Study Resources for NABTEB GCE Candidates
Candidates preparing for the examination can use the NABTEB Syllabus for Nov/Dec GCE to identify the topics linked to their registered subjects.
The NABTEB Past Questions and Answers can also be used for practice with previous examination questions.
These materials can be used alongside the timetable so that preparation is organised around each candidate's registered papers and examination dates.
Using the NABTEB GCE Timetable for Preparation
Candidates can arrange their study periods around the order of their registered papers, giving attention to subjects that appear earlier on the timetable.
The schedule also shows papers held on the same day at different times, so candidates with more than one paper on a date should confirm each starting period carefully.
Practical candidates should pay particular attention to entries marked To be arranged, while candidates taking Mathematics, English Language and Further Mathematics should note the separate time blocks shown for those papers.
The complete NABTEB GCE timetable PDF should remain the reference copy for the schedule supplied above.
