SELECTION OF SBA
SAMPLES
Each centre must submit ONE SBA sample consisting of the
work of FIVE (5) candidates to the External Moderator
for reassessment.
After the candidates‟ SBA scores have been entered online,
the sample for the centre will be automatically selected by
the SBA online application using the following procedure:
The total SBA scores for ALL candidates will be
arranged in order of performance, from highest to
lowest mark.
The SBA online application will then select the
candidates who gained the
highest mark
middle (median) mark
lowest mark
mark that is midway between the highest
mark and the middle mark
mark that is midway between the lowest
mark and the middle mark.
Where the number of candidates is less than 5, the work of
ALL candidates must be submitted.
The External Moderator will reassess the work and submit
the completed Moderation of SBA Form and the External
Moderator‟s Form to the Local Registrar by the stipulated
deadline.
