NSSC Academic Structure
Standards-referenced Reporting
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
