GCE A/L Common General Test · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The GCE A/L Common General Test is a compulsory general-aptitude paper sat alongside the subject examinations for the Sri Lankan General Certificate of Education Advanced Level. It is not a subject paper: it does not test syllabus content from any stream, and candidates from arts, commerce, science, technology and bioscience sit the same paper. Its purpose is to check whether a candidate can read carefully, reason with numbers, follow logical patterns, interpret diagrams, and apply general awareness to everyday problems. The paper is multiple choice and paper-based, and the official examination body publishes the current structure, question count and time allowance each year. The GCE A/L Common General Test case studies are 5 cases and about 2,862 words.
