This 2026 Chisawani Zonal Primary Science mock paper is designed for Standard 8 learners preparing for the PSLCE examinations in Thyolo District. The paper carries 100 marks total, integrating Agriculture and Science & Technology. Section A features 40 multiple-choice questions (20 Agriculture, 20 Science & Technology), while Section B contains 60 marks of structured questions requiring detailed working and explanations. Topics include crop rotation, soil conservation, simple machines, energy sources, and environmental management — all aligned with the latest MANEB PSLCE syllabus. Ideal for southern region candidates seeking targeted, integrated revision.

**Study Tips:**  

• Practice linking Agriculture and Science concepts — e.g., how soil pH (Science) affects crop yield (Agriculture).  

• For Section B structured questions, always show your reasoning: "Because… therefore…" answers earn full method marks.  

• Use past papers to identify recurring themes: Chisawani mocks often emphasize practical applications like composting or water purification.  

• Create flashcards for scientific terms (photosynthesis, erosion, levers) and agricultural practices (intercropping, mulching, grafting).  

• Time yourself: aim for 1 minute per MCQ to preserve 90 minutes for the heavier Section B.
