Formative exam

Students are assessed based on performance over the unit. They are a combination of Revise Quiz scores, Try a test scores and Homework.

Homework:

How regular and qualitative the student is in homework submission is what is seen here. The teacher makes a note of homework submitted, its completeness, its neatness, whether the answers were mostly correct or mostly wrong. And all those get added up to homework marks. Missing a homework submission when actually absent is okay and accepted and not penalised.

Since Std 1 and 2 do not have formal homework, their distribution is as follows:
60% Test Bytes
40% Class participation

For Std 3 to 8, in the formative marks, the distribution is as follows:
40% Homework
40% Test Bytes (+ Try a Test)
20% Class participation

For Std 9 and 10, in the formative marks, the distribution is as follows:
25% Test Bytes = 5 marks
25% Try a Test = 5 marks
25% Class Participation = 5 marks
25% Submissions = 5 marks

Std 9 and 10 have an additional skill subject (IT)
Formative: 50 marks (based on practicals, submission)

Formative marks (Over the unit) get added to the Summative marks (Unit Test) to get the overall Unit Test Result
