The assessment is aimed at a wide ability range of students, with nine-point grading
scale, from 9 to 1, with 9 being the highest.
Most subjects offer a choice between core curriculum and extended curriculum.
This gives students of all ability levels the freedom to choose subjects that are
right for them and, thereby, the opportunity to score good grades.
The core curriculum is an overview of the subject and is suitable for students who
are expected to grades 4-1.
The extended curriculum is, sort of a specialisation in that subject. It is more
challenging and designed for students who are expected to grades 9-4.
