ASSESSMENT:
Exam Pattern for class 1 to 5:-
As per the latest CBSE exam pattern for class 1 to 5, the assessment of students will be done in two areas i.e.
- Scholastic
- Co – Scholastic
• Formative Assessments
• Summative Assessments.
Formative Assessment (FA):- Through this assessment, the students are observed on a regular basis regarding their progress in academics. It includes conversations, projects, class-work, visual testing, assignments, class test, homework, practical, quizzes, oral testing, etc. These Formative assessments are purely informal; however, the date and time of test will be announced beforehand. These assessments will be conducted in the regular periods of concerned subjects.
Summative Assessment (SA):- This assessment test is the final assessment of the student’s performance. This assessment will be conducted twice a year at the end of each term in the form of a proper pen and paper - based test conducted by the schools themselves.
CBSE Grading System for class 1- 5:- All the internal and external assessments will be made in marks. However, the overall results will be given in grades. The final report cards of students will reflect only the grades. The CBSE exam pattern for class 1 to 5 is same and the grades given are on 5 point scale. The grades will be based on a student’s performance in all the 6 exams (4FAs & 2SAs) The current grading system with CBSE exam pattern for class 1 to 5 is discussed in the table given below:
