CPEA Components:

School-Based Assessment – 200 marks or 40% of the total score
External Assessment – 300 marks or 60% of the total score

The criterion for determining the required standard is that students must acquire at least 50% of the possible 500 marks.

The Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports congratulates all students for doing their very best! The Head Teachers, teachers, staff and parents at all schools should be proud of the way they supported the students says the Ministry.
