

Standards-referencing: reporting candidates' results
against a set of descriptors, indicating the standards
achieved in terms of knowledge and skills regardless
of the performance of the other candidates taking the
same examination.
School Based Assessment (SBA)
5 levels of performance: 5 = highest & 1 = lowest
The Level 5 candidates with the best performance
will be awarded a 5**, and the next top group
awarded a 5*
A performance below Level 1 = "Unclassified“
5. Student Learning Profile (SLP)

What would be in the SLP? e.g.
1) Personal particulars of the student
2) School internal results (i.e. from school report cards)
3) Basic information of Other Learning Experiences
4) List of major awards and achievements gained
5) ‘Student’s Self-Account’
Aims of the SLP:

Reflects a concern for whole-person
development

To motivate learning and engagement

To recognize non-academic
achievements

To give employers and higher
education institutions a more
complete picture of the individual and
his/her achievements
