Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority, KSSQAA, has announced Phase II of the 2026 BECE Hybrid Computer-Based Test pilot.

The authority also fixed an optional Mock CBT for Saturday, 9 May 2026, to help students get familiar with the examination system before the main exercise. The mock comes at no extra cost.

About the 2026 BECE Hybrid CBT Pilot

KSSQAA is rolling out Phase II of the Hybrid CBT pilot for the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination, BECE.

The exercise forms part of the move to support modern, credible and computer-based assessment in Kaduna State. Students who take part in the optional mock will use the CBT system before the main examination; that early practice can help them understand what to expect.

KSSQAA Mock CBT Date and Time

The optional Mock CBT will hold on Saturday, 9 May 2026.

Candidates should arrive by 7.00 a.m. The examination will start by 8.00 a.m.

Approved KSSQAA Mock CBT Centres

KSSQAA has listed the approved centres for the mock exercise across selected areas in Kaduna State.

Key Details for Candidates

Students who sit for the Hybrid CBT will receive the same certification as those who take the paper-based examination.

Parents and guardians will handle transport arrangements for their children or wards. KSSQAA has urged stakeholders to support candidates as they take part in the digital assessment process.

Rules for the Mock CBT

Candidates must go to the mock centre with a valid exam card.

Full school uniform is also compulsory. Phones and unauthorised items are not allowed at the centre, so students should leave such items at home before leaving for the mock test.
