GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES

This time-table should be displayed on the centre notice board.

1. The time allowed for each paper is shown against the name of the paper and NO EXTRA TIME IS
TO BE ALLOWED. Any time allocated for reading through questions, studying maps, etc is
included in the total time shown.

2. Centres please note that the time-tabled examination dates (as appearing on this time-table) take
precedence over all examination dates quoted elsewhere in any other documents from ZIMSEC,
viz:- statements of entry, attendance registers, etc, unless otherwise advised officially by the Council
in separate correspondence other than documents quoted above.

3.1 Papers included in the same session: Where a candidate is offering two papers of the same subject
which are time-tabled for the same examination session, a short break should be allowed between
the two papers.

3.2 Time-table clashes: If a candidate is entered for two or more papers that are time-tabled for the
same examination session both papers must be taken in the same session. A time-table deviation
application must be submitted to ZIMSEC before the examination.

Please note that in all instances where a time-table deviation occurs, candidates starting an
examination other than at the scheduled time must be kept isolated from candidates who have
already taken the paper. For further information regarding time-table clashes, please contact
ZIMSEC.

4. The ZIMSEC regulations specify that entries to the Fashion and Fabrics examinations may only be
accepted from Centres which are approved as being adequately equipped. On this basis ZIMSEC
lays down the date and time of the examination and no other periods are permitted. Centres MUST
ENSURE that they have the facilities available for the number of candidates entered for Fashion
and Fabrics.
