Please Note:

1. Great care should be exercised in the recording and totalling of all SBA marks
submitted. SBA marks must be whole numbers.

2. The teacher(s) preparing candidates MUST submit the SBA mark, Estimated
Grade and Order of Merit for each candidate in the centre who is registered for
the SBA component of the subject.

3. Teachers must ensure that the Order of Merit and the Estimated Grade
submitted are based on the candidate’s overall performance in the subject and
not the SBA component only.

4. Principals and teachers should ensure that all candidates registered for subjects
with SBA components, either

(a) have scores for the current year;

(b) are Resit Candidates from the PREVIOUS year; or

(c) are private candidates, registered for the alternative to the SBA
(Paper 032). This applies only to the May-June Sitting.

5. Candidates who did no work for the current year and have no SBA scores from
the previous year must be indicated by selecting the “No SBA” checkbox on the
SBA Data Capture Screen. Zero scores must not be recorded for these
candidates.

6. SBA marks must be submitted to the Local Registrar, by the date prescribed by
the Local Registrar.

7. The school must obtain from the Local Registrar, confirmation that the SBA
marks submitted online were received.
