I have 2 or more Children in my family writing the Exam. How do we do it?

Easy! Whether they are in the same class or different classes, the Log out process is the same.

Once the first person is done with their Exam, tap the ‘Profile icon’ at the top-right corner of your screen.

Click the Log Out button and enter the next person’s Log In details to begin her Exam.

 

Network in my area is poor. How do my Children write the Online CBE without issues?

For network related issues, we advice the following –

  • Ask around in your area and utilize a network that has strong, reliable connection
  • Move to an area with better connection. A five-minutes drive to an area with better network coverage can make all the difference for your Children’s writing experience.

 

I keep seeing “PAGE NOT FOUND. 404 ERROR!”

It is possible that you are using an expired Log in link. This is the correct Log in link for all SIPS Students & Pupils –

STUDENT LOGIN

 

I have gotten to the correct Log in page but keep seeing “INCORRECT USERNAME/PASSWORD”

As stated in the CBE Walkthrough Video, all Username and Passwords provided to you for your children are 100% Correct. If you are getting this error, it is because you either ‘typed in’ the wrong Log in details or you have ‘GENERATED’ a new password in your profile. To avoid Incorrect Username and Password error, follow these steps –

  • Do not type in the Log in details. COPY and PASTE from the message we have sent you. See the CBE Walthrough Video for more details
  • AVOID the GENERATE Password button in your Profile! This immediately nullifies the Password we have sent you and logs you our of the Portal. You will then need to request a Password Reset to regain entry.

 

Where is the Timetable for the 2nd Term Computer-Based Examination (CBE)

SIPS 2ND TERM CBE EXAM TIMETABLE

 

OPEN Time vs. WRITING Time

If you have gone through the Timetable, you will discover that each Exam has a 2-Hour window period. This is the Exam OPEN TIME. It is the period when all Pupils/Students writing that exam are expected to come into the (Online) Class and write their exams.

WRITING TIME on the other hand is the time limit for each Paper. Seeing as this is an Online CBE, it is expected that time limitations and restrictions are put in place to curb malpractice.

For example, SS1 MATHEMATICS, is slated for 4:00PM to 6:00PM on Monday, April 20th. This is the OPEN time. Each student will have 40 Minutes to take the Exam. This is the WRITING time.

It is IMPERATIVE that you encourage your Children to read ALL instructions before starting any Examination.
