CPEA Components:
School-Based Assessment - 200 marks or 40% of the total score
External Assessment - 300 marks or 60% of the total score
The criterion for determining the required standard is that students must acquire at least 50% of the possible 500 marks.
The Ministry of Education congratulates all students and extends gratitude to the Headteachers, teachers and staff at all schools for their support of the students. We are cognizant of the fact that outcomes in education are measured, not only in quantitative terms, but also in qualitative terms; therefore, the value added to the lives of all of the students, the top performers as well as those whose performance can be improved, is greatly appreciated.
