Evaluation Methodology
Students who choose to undertake continuous assessment will be required to sit two written tests, each accounting for 50 per cent of the mark. In the continuous assessment, a mark of less than 8 in either of the two tests will result in immediate admission to the examination.
Achieving a mark between 8 and 12 in either test, or suspicion of cheating, will result in the student being required to sit an oral examination.
If, in the continuous assessment tests, a student achieves a mark higher than 12, they are exempt from the final examination. Students admitted to the examination sit a written exam and are marked Pass if they achieve a mark of 12, thereby being exempt from the oral examination.
During the resit period, the student is deemed to have Passed if they achieve a mark of 10.
In any assessment period, where there is a suspicion of cheating, the student will be required to sit an oral examination.
