External Assessments to begin
Photo Credit: photonburst, "Final Exam"
End of course exams for IB courses will begin next week. Seniors in the program will complete several exams over the next few weeks to demonstrate their mastery of the content they’ve studied over their two years in at the academy. The external exams represent the majority of the final grade awarded to the students by the International Baccalaureate, Internal Exams represent the remainder.
Like the other components of the assessment process, scoring and moderation of the assessments will be carried out by examiners around the globe. To see a map of our 2009 assessment destinations, visit: http://ib.tricountyesc.org/2009/03/12/ib-assessments-travel-the-globe/
On behalf of the faculty and staff at the academy, I want to wish each of our seniors best wishes on the exams… and rest well!
