As per the latest CBSE exam pattern for class 1 to 9, the assessment of students will be done in two areas i.e.
Scholastic Co-scholastic
The scholastic area mostly includes test marks, notebook upkeep and subject enrichment. On the other hand, the co-scholastic areas include skill-based activities, art education, physical educations and other co-curricular activities like dance, art, music, etc. The academic year is split into two sessions i.e. Formativeand Summative Assessments.
Formative Assessment:
Through this assessment, the students are observed on a regular basis regarding their progress in academics. It includes conversations, quizzes, class-work, visual testing, oral testing, projects, assignments, practical, class test, homework, 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.
