Agriculture appears twice in KJSEA. The project, 906/2, was assessed between May and July 2026. The written paper, 906/1, runs 1 hour 40 on Wednesday 28 October, the same day as Mathematics.
That split matters because only one half can still be influenced, and the other half is the one most often mislaid.
Check the project mark before revising anything
| Component | Code | When | Can it change? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agriculture project | 906/2 | May to July 2026 | No, but it can be verified |
| Agriculture written | 906/1 | Wed 28 Oct, 1 hour 40 | Yes, this is what revision affects |
Projects are the component most likely to sit in a file rather than in a submission, because they are assessed outside normal lesson time and sometimes by a teacher who has since changed class. One message asking the class teacher to confirm in writing that the 906/2 mark was submitted is worth more than an evening of revision. See the 40 per cent nobody checks.
What the written paper asks for
Expect roughly 30 multiple choice questions followed by a structured section. The multiple choice rewards breadth, the structured section rewards precision.
- Name things correctly. A tool, a pest, a breed or a practice described rather than named usually does not score.
- Match points to marks. A 3 mark question wants three distinct points, each on its own line, not one point explained three ways.
- Watch the command word. "State" wants the fact alone. "Explain" wants reasons, with because or therefore. Writing a paragraph for a "state" question spends four minutes earning one mark.
- Diagrams score. Where one is asked for, draw it in pencil and label it. A labelled diagram often carries marks a paragraph does not, and takes less time.
Use the project you already did
The most efficient revision here is not notes. Have your child talk through the project: what they grew or raised, what choices they made, what went wrong and what they would change. Almost every applied question on the written paper can be answered from that reflection, and it is far more memorable than a list.
Wednesday is a heavy day
Mathematics 903 runs two hours the same day. Practise Agriculture immediately after a long paper at least once, because sitting it fresh on a Saturday morning does not simulate the real thing.
Our six week countdown places Agriculture in week 4, and marking a paper at home covers scoring structured answers without being a teacher.
The KJSEA Complete Revision Course covers Agriculture and Nutrition with notes, predictive papers and a separate answer booklet.
