CA and SE Assessment Criteria
The academic performance of Victorians is assessed regularly. Assessment provides feedback on the learning progress of each Victorian and serves as a tool to gauge if he is ready to advance to the next level.
Assessment takes two forms:
1. Continual Assessment (CA)
Include class tests, common tests, project work and other assignments, such as homework. CA is both formative (to obtain feedback on a pupil's learning) and summative (to measure attainment). |
2. Semestral Assessment (SA)
These are the Mid-Year and Year-End or Preliminary Examinations scheduled to measure pupils’ attainment in the various subjects. |
For S4 pupils, there is no CA in Semester Two. The grades scored in the Preliminary Examination will be used by MOE for posting pupils to the various JCs for provisional admission in January, the following year.
It is very important that Victorians aim to do well for the Preliminary Examinations so that they will be able to qualify for the Junior College of choice.

Absence from CA or SA
Pupils who are absent from a CA or SA paper must submit a Medical Certificate upon returning to school. (Only exceptional reasons for absence approved by Principal would be considered). Otherwise, they would get no marks for the test or exam paper concerned.
Pupils who have missed a CA (and have proof of absence - either MC or P's approval) will be given marks based on the performance at the next SA. The marks will be pegged at 80% of the SA.
Progress Report
After each major CA or SA, the results are reported in the Progress Report Card or Result Slip for Parents' or Guardians' information. Parents or Guardians are to initial on the result slip.
Parents and Guardians must ensure that their child or ward bring the progress card to their attention. They should contact the school if they find anything amiss.
