Detailed Assessment Scheme/Weights for Term-based Courses
It is important to mention that a competency exam comprises two parts: Theory (Knowledge) and Practical (Skills). The percentage composition from either type of assessment depends upon the nature of the course. Moreover, Vocational courses will produce a portfolio of evidence in accordance with the relevant external examining body requirements. This evidence may consist of a combination of projects, practical tasks, classwork, quizzes, work placement evidence, etc.
Applies to all cluster courses including computer science and creative design for middle school
