Is TJC the same candidate often called TJCE?

The Ministry's assessment page and 2022 statistical report use Tuvalu Junior Certificate (TJC). TJCE is retained as a search name for that assessment, not as a second exam or practice URL.

Does this cover every official subject or weighting?

No. The 2022 report lists eight subjects, including home economics and basic technology. This bank is a selected study aid with an editorial distribution, not complete subject coverage or a verified 2026 blueprint.

What are the official format and languages?

The Ministry provides a TJC past-paper collection, but current paper instructions and permitted response languages were not verified. Teaching English and Tuvaluan in schools does not establish the languages permitted in every examination. This is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.

What other assessment work is required?

Confirm current subject requirements with the school, including any assignments, oral, practical or case-study work. The general curriculum framework discusses varied assessment, but does not establish current mandatory components or their weights for each TJC subject. MCQs cannot replace performance or extended-response practice.

1Which of the listed words is an adjective in this sentence: 'The courageous navigators steered their wooden canoe through the rough reef passage.'?

A.navigators

B.courageous

C.steered

D.passage

Explanation: 'Courageous' modifies 'navigators' and describes bravery. The sentence also contains the adjectives 'wooden' and 'rough', but neither appears among the choices.

2Which sentence correctly uses a present-tense verb with the subject 'Every student in Form 4'?

A.Every student in Form 4 are preparing for the national examinations.

B.Every student in Form 4 is preparing for the national examinations.

C.Every student in Form 4 were preparing for the national examinations.

D.Every student in Form 4 have been preparing for the national examinations.

Explanation: 'Every student' has the singular subject 'student' modified by the distributive determiner 'every', which requires the singular present verb 'is'. Prepositional phrases like 'in Form 4' do not affect the number of the subject.

3Which sentence uses the past perfect tense correctly to show an action completed before another past event?

A.The patrol boat arrived after the supply vessel had already departed.

B.The patrol boat had arrived after the supply vessel has departed.

C.The patrol boat arrived after the supply vessel was departing.

D.The patrol boat has arrived after the supply vessel had departed.

Explanation: 'Had already departed' uses had plus a past participle. It marks the departure as complete before the patrol boat's past arrival.

4Select the preposition that best completes the sentence: 'The rainwater storage tanks are situated _____ the northern corner of the school compound.'

A.at

B.between

C.into

D.through

Explanation: The preposition 'at' is used to indicate a specific point, location, or corner. Here, 'at the northern corner' accurately specifies the physical position.

5Which pronoun correctly completes the compound object in this sentence: 'The principal awarded the science certificates to Malia and _____.'?

A.me

B.I

C.she

D.he

Explanation: 'Me' is an objective pronoun functioning as the object of the preposition 'to' alongside 'Malia'. Test this by removing 'Malia and': 'awarded the certificates to me'.

6Which coordinating conjunction correctly expresses a contrast between two independent clauses?

A.but

B.and

C.or

D.so

Explanation: 'But' connects ideas in contrast. For example, 'The wind increased, but the ferry continued' contrasts conditions with the response.

7Which modal verb best conveys a strong moral or official obligation in formal writing?

A.must

B.might

C.could

D.would

Explanation: 'Must' indicates strong necessity or mandatory obligation. In formal rules and directives, it denotes an unavoidable requirement.

8Which sentence correctly demonstrates the use of the apostrophe for singular possession?

A.The fisherman's net was repaired before sunset.

B.The fishermans' net was repaired before sunset.

C.The fishermans net was repaired before sunset.

D.The fisherman net's was repaired before sunset.

Explanation: Singular possession is shown by adding apostrophe-s to 'fisherman'. The resulting phrase 'the fisherman's net' identifies the net's owner.

9Convert the following active sentence into the passive voice: 'The Kaupule planted five hundred mangrove saplings along the coastal lagoon.'

A.Five hundred mangrove saplings were planted along the coastal lagoon by the Kaupule.

B.Five hundred mangrove saplings are planted along the coastal lagoon by the Kaupule.

C.Five hundred mangrove saplings have been planted along the coastal lagoon by the Kaupule.

D.Five hundred mangrove saplings were being planted along the coastal lagoon by the Kaupule.

Explanation: The original verb 'planted' is in the simple past tense. In the passive voice, the simple past of 'to be' ('were' for the plural object 'saplings') is paired with the past participle 'planted'.

10On Monday Tavita said, 'We will complete the community hall renovations tomorrow.' A reporter outside Tavita's group reports this after Tuesday, using standard tense backshift. Which version preserves the meaning?

A.Tavita said that they would complete the community hall renovations the following day.

B.Tavita said that we will complete the community hall renovations tomorrow.

C.Tavita said that they will complete the community hall renovations the following day.

D.Tavita said that they would have completed the community hall renovations tomorrow.

Explanation: For this later report by someone outside the group, 'we' becomes 'they', 'will' backshifts to 'would', and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the following day'. Pronouns and time expressions depend on the reporting context; backshift is not compulsory in every report.
