What's covered in PLE Mathematics

The PLE Mathematics paper tests the full P7 syllabus. Key topic areas across past papers:

  • Numbers & operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
  • Fractions, decimals & percentages
  • Word problems (profit & loss, ratio, speed)
  • Geometry (angles, perimeter, area, volume)
  • Measures (length, mass, capacity, time)
  • Data interpretation (tables, bar charts)
  • Patterns & sequences
  • Sets & set operations

How AI marking works for Mathematics

Unlike a simple answer check, Smart Past Papers marks your working step by step — the same way a UNEB examiner would. If you get the right answer but skip a step, you see the missed mark. If you make an arithmetic slip but the method is correct, you get partial credit. That tells you which step to fix, not just that the final number is wrong.
