This year will mark the second June examination session where O-Level exams only factor for 30% of students' global grade per subject, under the student-based assessment (SBA) model. Since this new system was rolled out, 70% of students' global mark per subject comprised of assessments throughout the school year, given out by their classroom teachers. Before the SBAs were introduced, O-Level exams were responsible for 100% of the mark in most cases; minor exceptions lied in practicals for science subjects, for example.
