🧠 What Is PEP in Jamaica?
The Primary Exit Profile (PEP) is the series of tests used to assess students leaving the primary school system in Jamaica. It replaces the older GSAT exam and is designed to test critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.
PEP consists of multiple components taken over Grades 4 to 6:

The results determine where students are placed for high school in Jamaica.
