The Standard Four exam assesses a student’s proficiency in mastering the skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic at a level that enables them to use the knowledge gained in solving social, political, economic, and technological problems for personal development and the nation.

Furthermore, the results of the Standard Four exam are very important in assessing the academic progress of a student who is expected to continue to Standard Five because they prepare the student to master the skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
