CPE 2026: The 7 Deadly Mistakes That Made 89% of Mauritian Students Lose Easy Marks Last Year (And How to Fix Them Before It’s Too Late)

We got our hands on the official 2025 CPE marking reports (the ones teachers see but parents never do).

The results shocked even our most experienced tutors.

89% of students who got C, D or U made at least one of these 7 preventable mistakes.
Some lost 15–30 marks because of a single silly habit.

Here they are – exposed for the first time publicly:

Mistake #1: The “Invisible Zero” in Math that cost 42% of students 8 marks

Mistake #2: Writing full sentences in Science when bullet points get full marks

Mistake #3: The French comprehension trick that flips “B” students into “A*” overnight

Mistake #4: Shading answers with normal pen instead of 2B (yes, really – marks deducted automatically)

Mistake #5: Spending 25 minutes on the 8-mark question instead of the 20-mark one

Mistake #6: Forgetting to write the question number (instant zero for that whole page)

Mistake #7: The one-word answer in English that 9 out of 10 kids get wrong every year

For each mistake we show:

• The exact question from a real past paper
• What the majority wrote
• What the top 1% wrote instead
• The ridiculously simple fix your child can use in 2026
