Assessment: coursework and examinations Across all courses, assessment patterns differ from subject to subject. Many courses include a coursework, practical or oral component, meaning that the students’ final grade is based on both work done during the two-year course and on results of the final examinations. To prepare our students for examinations, students sit internal examinations towards the end of Grade 11, and are provided feedback and guidance based on these papers. A second round of internal examinations in Term 2 of Grade 12 provides a final opportunity for feedback and exam preparation before students undertake the external IB Diploma examinations in May of their Grade 12 year.
UWCSEA High School Diploma Students need to be actively contributing to all aspects of the UWCSEA Learning Programme and to maintain suitable academic attainment and effort profiles in order to be successful in the IB Diploma, and to be awarded the UWCSEA High School Diploma.
