Standards-referencedReporting • Standards-referenced levels 1-5 • 5* and 5** will be used to differentiate the best performers from amongst the level 5 candidates • A set of descriptors will be used to indicate the typical performance of candidates at each of the 5 levels
Features of Standards-referenced Reporting • The rationale behind it is to explicitly describe the standards achieved by the candidates in terms of knowledge, skills and understanding • Standards are prescribed in each subject so that their requirements are available to candidates before examination • Candidates’ results will only be compared with the prescribed standards, regardless of the performance of the other candidates taking the same examination
Implementation of School-Based Assessment • Some skills (e.g. data collection, implementation of a plan, laboratory skills) cannot be effectively assessed by paper-and-pencil examinations • SBA will enhance the completeness of public assessment and assess different facets of students’ abilities
