What is the meaning of CEPA Math.?
From 2006 CEPA-Maths has been used to make decisions about placement into maths courses at UAEU, HCT and ZU. CEPA-maths is a compulsory requirement for NAPO applicants.
The CEPA-Maths test lasts for 90 minutes and consists of 50 multiple choice questions. An approved calculator is supplied to each student for use during the test. The test is bilingual, that is, all questions appear in both English and Arabic.
The test assesses maths proficiency in four major areas of knowledge:
•

Number sense, patterns and relationships

•

Data analysis and probability

•

Geometry and measurement

•

Algebra

Within each of these knowledge areas, there are three levels of questions:
Basic
These represent the lowest level of expected understanding and proficiency. Questions in this category rely heavily on recall and recognition of concepts.
Proficient
These represent an acceptable or reasonable level of understanding of the knowledge area.
The items typically require students to solve problems involving one step, or to perform a basic procedure. Advanced
These require in-depth understanding of concepts and require students to possess an advanced level of proficiency in the knowledge area.

CEPA Math Exam date: will be announced later
