Final grades are awarded in accordance with the standardised grading systems, which are outlined on the
Assessment Policy, available on the KBS website. In marking examinations, the assessor will consider the
following:
• Relevance of the answer to the question or task set
• Logical planning and sequence
• Overall presentation, including correct grammar, spelling and punctuation
• Comprehensive coverage reflecting mastery of set readings and text
• Demonstrated capacity to relate theory to practice

Date, Time & Place of Examination

Examinations are held in accordance with the exam timetable. Assessments are scheduled to ensure that a
student’s academic demands are taken into consideration. No student will be required to sit more than two
examinations in one day. Details of the assessment due dates for a subject are available prior to enrolment with
specific dates made known to students at the beginning of the trimester.

Students with special needs or circumstances

Support is provided for students with a range of needs. More information is available on the Assessment
Policy available on the KBS website.

Deferred examination
In some cases, deferred assessments are permitted. A student may be permitted to take a deferred examination
if he/she missed the scheduled examination for any of the following reasons:
• The student was too ill to attend the examination;
• The student experienced personal accident or trauma on or within two days prior to the scheduled examination,

2
 which was likely to adversely affect the student’s performance in the examination;
• The student experienced circumstances on the day of the examination that were likely to adversely affect
the student’s performance in the examination.
A student who is allowed to defer an examination with valid medical, compassionate or religious grounds must
submit the necessary documents to Kaplan within 24 hours of the relevant incident or no later than 72 hours
past the exam date, unless exceptional circumstances prevent contacting Kaplan. Requests received later than
this will be considered invalid.

Supplementary examinations
Supplementary examinations will be held as soon as possible after the initial examination and will normally be
held in the two weeks following the exam period. Students are responsible for checking examination timetables
for subjects they are required to sit. Students are also required to make necessary adjustments to their study
arrangements to accommodate the subjects that they are required to repeat or sit supplementary exams for. If
students do not present for the supplementary examination they will be required to repeat the subject.

Viewing examination papers

Students may view their marked examination papers (paper based and computer answer sheet) under
supervision up to 4 weeks after the results have been released. Requests to view examination papers
should be made separately in writing to the Student Services office within 7 days of the release of results.
Students may not copy the examination paper or remove it from the premises.
