STANDARDISATION

Teachers are advised to follow carefully, the mark scheme provided. They should ensure that marking
of the School-Based Assessment is not too lenient or too harsh. The full range of marks should be
used. This will reduce the probability of CXC® having to make adjustments to the final School-Based
Assessment marks.

RECORDING SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT

Teachers should keep a complete and accurate record of marks earned by students. Each assignment
should be numbered on the ‘List of Assignments’ sheet; the record of an assignment should be entered
in the appropriate numbered slot on the summary sheet.

MODERATION

CXC® regulations require that all the coursework record sheets (both the summary sheet and the list
of assignments) be sent to the Local Registrar by 15 April, so that they may reach CXC® Headquarters
no later than 30 April of the examination year. A sample of School-Based Assessment assignments
may be requested by CXC®. The school must, therefore, retain assignments until three months after
the publication of examination results.
