Indonesia for the June 2021 series will not take place, instead we are switching to an approach based on school-assessed grades (not teacher-assessed grades). CAIE exams June 2021 series Will exam grades be fair and comparable between students who sit exams and students who have school assessed grades? ● The CAIE take responsibility to assess students fairly. ● The CAIE are working to ensure that grades are comparable whichever route a student takes in 2021. CAIE exams June 2021 series The school-assessed grades in June 2021 are different to the predicted grades which were issued in the June 2020 series. ● The predicted grades issued in June 2020 were based on the centre’s judgement based on student’s potential. ● In June 2021, the school-assessed grades will be based on actual achievement. Quantity of evidence required ● A portfolio of 3 substantial pieces of work in each syllabus. ● A piece of work that has taken at least 1 hour of work to complete. ● No candidate should have more than, or fewer than, three pieces of work in their portfolio. Quality of evidence required ● The three substantial pieces of work in the portfolio must cover as broad a range as possible of the syllabus content. For example, where syllabus content is organised into topics, the three pieces of work in a portfolio should be on different topics. ● Equivalent or similar to CAIE past papers. Quality of evidence required ● Ideally, all of the work in the portfolio should have been done under the direct supervision of a teacher. So, the teacher can be reasonably confident that students have not had inappropriate access to the internet, to open books, or to the assistance of families or friends while doing the work. Summary Based on the guidance from CAIE above, school decide to prepare the school-assessed grades will be: ● based on the latest student’s achievement (May 2021)
● three (3) substantial pieces of written assessment
● cover as broad a range as possible of the syllabus
