OpenExamPrep

The Primary Exit Profile (PEP) is Jamaica's national Grade 6 placement assessment, replacing the former GSAT, and is administered by the Ministry of Education and Youth. It has three components across Grades 4-6: Performance Tasks, an Ability Test of verbal and quantitative reasoning sat in Grade 6, and Curriculum-Based Tests in Mathematics, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. There is no simple pass mark; PEP produces a student profile that, with parental school choices and available places, determines secondary-school placement for Grade 7. The Ability Test and CBTs are predominantly multiple choice. This 100-question bank provides original Jamaican Grade 5-6 multiple-choice practice across all five MCQ areas.

Sample PEP Practice Questions

1Look at this analogy: Pen is to write as broom is to ____. Which word best completes it?
A.dust
B.sweep
C.floor
D.handle
Explanation: A pen is the tool you use to write, so the missing word must be the action you do with a broom. You use a broom to sweep, so 'sweep' completes the analogy by matching the tool-to-action pattern.
2Which word does NOT belong with the others?
A.mango
B.guava
C.ackee
D.machete
Explanation: Mango, guava and ackee are all fruits that grow in Jamaica. A machete is a cutting tool, not a fruit, so it does not belong with the group.
3Hot is to cold as day is to ____.
A.sun
B.morning
C.night
D.light
Explanation: Hot and cold are opposites. The missing word must be the opposite of day, which is night. So 'night' completes the opposite-pair analogy.
4All the children in Maya's class can swim. Tariq is a child in Maya's class. Which statement must be true?
A.Tariq can swim
B.Tariq cannot swim
C.Tariq likes swimming
D.Only Maya can swim
Explanation: If every child in the class can swim and Tariq is in the class, then Tariq must be able to swim. This is a logical deduction from the two given facts.
5Which pair of words means the SAME or nearly the same?
A.happy and sad
B.big and large
C.fast and slow
D.open and shut
Explanation: 'Big' and 'large' both describe something of great size, so they are synonyms. The other pairs are opposites, not words with the same meaning.
6What number comes next in the pattern? 2, 4, 6, 8, ____
A.9
B.10
C.11
D.12
Explanation: Each number increases by 2 (2, 4, 6, 8), so the next number is 8 + 2 = 10. This is a counting-by-twos pattern.
7Find the next number: 3, 6, 12, 24, ____
A.30
B.36
C.48
D.27
Explanation: Each number is doubled to get the next one (3 to 6 to 12 to 24). Doubling 24 gives 48, so 48 comes next.
8Kingston is to Jamaica as Bridgetown is to ____.
A.Trinidad
B.Barbados
C.Cuba
D.Guyana
Explanation: Kingston is the capital city of Jamaica, so the missing word must be the country whose capital is Bridgetown. Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados, completing the capital-to-country analogy.
9If MANGO is written in code as NBOHP (each letter moved forward one place), how is FRUIT written?
A.GSVJU
B.ESQHS
C.GTVJU
D.GSWJU
Explanation: Each letter moves forward one place in the alphabet: F to G, R to S, U to V, I to J, T to U. So FRUIT becomes GSVJU.
10Three friends are in a line. Kemar is in front of Shanice. Shanice is in front of Andre. Who is at the back?
A.Kemar
B.Shanice
C.Andre
D.Cannot tell
Explanation: Kemar is in front of Shanice, and Shanice is in front of Andre, so the order from front to back is Kemar, Shanice, Andre. Andre is therefore at the back.
