Exams<\/h2>\n

Pupils in Years 1-3 do not sit formal examinations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

S4-S6 (9th-11th Grade)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After the first semester the pupils will have an A1 and a B1 mark and after the second semester a B1 and B2 mark as well as a final year mark (C mark).
A-mark: for class work, written or oral tasks;
B-mark: the exam mark (or 2 other B tests during the semester not included in the A mark)
The end-of-year mark (C mark) will be calculated on the basis of these four marks: A1+B1+A2+B2. It does not have to be the exact average of these marks but should reflect the level of the pupil at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The B marks on the reports for other subjects will be determined by B tests (class tests) during the semester.<\/p>\n
