Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Electricity End Term 3 2026 Exam with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  This summative assessment evaluates core technical competencies in circuit analysis, electrostatic and electromagnetic principles, power transmission systems, and semiconductor electronics. It is ideal for end-of-year school-based national assessment preparation towards the end of the term, and can also be effectively administered as a mid-term assessment for schools that have completed the syllabus early at the beginning of the term.
