Assessment and Exams

Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed judgments about the achievement or capabilities of individuals and cohorts.

High-quality assessment provides timely and informative feedback about students’ learning progress. Effective feedback encourages self-reflection, allowing students to actively monitor and evaluate their own learning. Together, assessment and feedback support continuous, collaborative, active and self-directed learning.

Assessment:

• improves teaching by providing information on what students know and can do

• helps students progress in their learning

• provides meaningful information on students’ strengths, learning needs and achievements.
