Karachi, Around 138,000 Class IX science students will appear in a mock test of English subject to be held under the aegis of the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) on March 24, it was learnt on Thursday. According to BSEK chairman Syed Anzar Hussain Zaidi, the number of examination centers in the city has been curtailed from over 430 to just 170 this year.
He said the exercise would help board officials find and remove the shortcomings that might arise at the examination centers so that the forthcoming secondary school certificate annual examinations could be conducted in an efficient manner.
The other purpose of holding the mock test was to ensure that all the candidates get their enrolment cards before the annual exams and the BSEK would shortly announce a date for the collection of enrolment cards by schools, he added. He said the test would be conducted from 9am to 12noon at the 170 examination centers being set up at both government and private schools.
