ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The following is the mark scheme for assessing SBA assignments. Teachers must clearly indicate the
breakdown of the marks allocated for each question on the candidates’ SBA paper.

Note to Teachers: The marks for the WP and WPD, SS and DB are to be summed and divided by 2 in
order to provide the Productivity Tools mark out of 35.

offers some choice. To obtain the 20 marks for Word-Processing, teachers may:

 Choose TWO of the three features: tables, columns, and inserting/importing files. (2 marks
each)
