Each centre must submit ONE SBA sample, consisting of the
work of FIVE (5) candidates FOR EACH OPTION.
Selection of SBA Sample Portfolio
The work for each candidate in the sample must consist
of his/her last piece for each Option taught (Piece 3).
The selection MUST be done by Option.
After the candidates‟ SBA scores have been entered online, the
sample for EACH OPTION taught at the centre will be
automatically selected by the SBA online application using the
following procedure:
FOR EACH PRODUCTION OPTION
The total SBA scores for ALL candidates registered for the
specific Production Option 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.
The teacher(s) must then select the last piece of work (Piece 3)
for each of the candidates selected by the SBA online
application.
The centre must submit to CXC by the stipulated deadlines
ONLY the samples that have been selected by the SBA online
application.
N.B.
The sample for each Production Option should consist
of five (5) pieces of work, the last piece of work
(Piece 3) for each of the five candidates selected.
The number of pieces to be submitted will be
determined by the number of Production Options done.
Where the number of candidates registered for any
OPTION is less than 5, the last piece of work (Piece 3)
of ALL candidates must be submitted.
