Are these the official PLE past papers?
Boldungu shows how each year's paper was laid out (its sections, question numbers, marks and time) and builds practice papers in the same layout, with new questions every time. We don't republish the examining body's question papers.
How should I use PLE mock papers?
Sit one under exam conditions, timed at 2 hours 30 minutes, then go through every question you lost marks on. Practise those topics for a few days and sit another paper. Boldungu marks each mock straight away and shows which topics to revise.
Can Primary Six learners practise for the PLE?
Yes. Starting a year early, in Primary Six, shows which topics need building up before the exam year. Mock papers work the same way for them.
